I have quit smoking, how long will it take for my lungs to improve?
I smoked for about 6 years, averaging around 10-15 per day. Can anyone shed some light on the time line of my lungs improving? For the first few years I smoked 8mgs then changed to 4mgs.
Additional Details
Cheers guys, but im a little confused.

I dont have a cough nor any wheezing, Is this yet to come or have I somehow missed this part?

The improvement should start immediately.
It won't be rapid though.
The absence of irritation should be immediately apparent, within a week or two.
Improvement in vital capacity will be slow.

If you only smoked for a few years then, yes your lungs will regenerate progressively over a few years (along with your taste buds and sense of smell) Versus a person that quits after 25 years, they can always end up with cancer or emphysema even ten years later.
By the way, The lungs start to heal after only eight hours.

No, The human lungs can regenerate like the rest of your body... This process will take about 7 years in total, but after like... 3or so years, you can already feel drastic changes, (no more hard coughing, no mucus buildup in your lungs) etc,etc,
