your lungs will heal at their normal pace, most likely. But as you run, they will strengthen. So you will notice a vast improvement as they heal and grow stronger at the same time

How long to clear mucus out of lungs after quit smoking?

Smoking suppresses the action of the mechanisms that normally rid the lungs of mucous, and a lot of garbage builds up in there. Getting rid of it after quitting is normal and no cause for alarm. It's just your lungs doing the job of cleaning they were not allowed to do previously due to the effects of smoking.


Is it normal that you can't sing on key ever since you quit smoking?

It might be because smoking has chemicals in it and it's called nicotine and it keeps you addicted to smoking but the chemicals inside the cigaretes have something to do with your not singing a note. == It is not unusual at all that your voice will change after quitting. This should be a temporary situation. Give it time for your body to adjust to not having the smoke.

Within 8 hours of quitting smoking, carbon monoxide levels in the blood decrease, allowing oxygen levels to return to normal.

Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help speed up this process.

You were smoking cigareets ten per day since last twenty years and stopped smokingHow long it will take to heal the damage caused by smoking?

Depending on what damage you mean, it will vary. In certain organs the damage will take longer, for instance lung damage, depending on what the damage consists of, may take as long as 10 years. If you developed emphysema, it will never be healed and will actually get worse despite smoking cessation. The odds of having a heart attack reduce tremendously after smoking cessation, approaching the odds of nonsmokers within 2 years or so. Here's a more complete listing: * 20 Minutes after your last cigarette: ** Blood pressure decreases ** Temperature of hands and feet increases to normal (because of improved blood circulation) * 8 Hours after quitting: ** The carbon monoxide level (that's car exhaust and it's in cigarette smoke!) in your blood drops to normal * 24 Hours after quitting: ** Chance of a heart attack decreases * 2 Weeks to 3 Months after quitting: ** Blood circulation improves ** Lung function (how well the lungs are working) increases up to 30% * 1 to 9 Months after quitting: ** Coughing, congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decrease ** The cilia (small hairs that line the airways) go back to working normally, meaning that your lungs get cleaner and function better overall * 1 Year after quitting: ** Excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's * 5 Years after quitting: ** Risk of stroke is reduced to the risk of a nonsmoker (between 5 and 15 years after quitting) * 10 Years after quitting: ** The lung cancer death rate is about half the rate of a smoker who has not quit ** The risk of oral and throat cancer, bladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancer decreases * 15 Years after quitting: ** The risk of coronary heart disease is equal to a nonsmoker's risk.
