Smokers¿

Eventually your lungs will repair themselves if you stop. Unless you have smoked to the point where they are completely un-repairable :p

I don't believe your lungs will " repair " themselves, it's going to stay like that forever, I think. Like brain cells, you won't grow them back once you've lost them.

Its proven that they repair.
"If you stop even for a time, your body has the chance to repair some of the damage."

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP SMOKING?

Your body will begin to repair itself as soon as 20 minutes after you stop smoking. Here is a list of common changes that you can expect.

20 minutes after last cigarette:

* Blood pressure drops to normal
* Heart rate drops to normal
* Body temperature returns to normal (hands/feet)


8 hours:

* Carbon Monoxide level in blood drops to normal
* Oxygen level in blood increases to normal


24 hours:

* Chance of heart attack decreases


48 hours:

* Nerve endings start to re-grow


72 hours:

* Bronchial tubes relax, making breathing easier - Lung volume increases


2 weeks to 3 months:

* Circulation improves
* Walking becomes easier
* Lung function increases up to 30%


1 to 9 months:

* Lungs (cilia) begin to heal, increasing mucus, cleaning lungs and reducing infection


5 years:

* Lung cancer death rate for an average smoker decreases from 137 to 72 per 100,000 people
* Lung cancer death rate for an average smoker drops almost as low as the rate of nonsmokers
* Pre-cancerous cells in the lung are replaced
* Risk of other cancers decreases (mouth, larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas)

I wasn't talking about stopping I was talking about your lungs repairing.
And i know it isn't easy.

Smoking is pointless.

I mean, if you're going to mess up your body, you might as well do it with something worth the trouble. :rolleyes:

"I'm cool because I smoke! I stink of smoke, my fingertips and teeth are yellow, I also have cancer...YAY!"
Still think it's cool, kids?
Trust me, kissing a smoker is not very nice, think of your future partners!
