I quit smoking three months ago, how long does it take for my lungs to fully recover?
To clarify, I am a man of 35 who have smoked for 15 years - I smoked between one filtered cigarettes per day for 5 years, then quit and started smoking cigarettes 2 cigars quite a thin day for 10 years remaining. 08.06 I do not exercise regularly - I walk 2 miles a day. Sorry if this is in the wrong section-think like * the prevention of respiratory disease *!
In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop to normal. In eight hours, carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) in your blood will drop by half and oxygen levels return to normal. In 48 hours your chance to have a heart attack has decreased. All nicotine has left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to normal levels. In 72 hours your tubes can brochial relax and your energy level will increase. In two weeks the movement will increase, and will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks. In nine months to three coughing, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate and your lung capacity improves by 10%. In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack is halved. In 5 years the risk of a return stroke to that of a nonsmoker. In 10 years, your risk of lung cancer are returned to that of a nonsmoker. In 15 years your risk of heart attack have returned to that of a nonsmoker.
