If you quit smoking early will the bad effects of it wear off eventually?!


Question: If you quit smoking early will the bad effects of it wear off eventually?
im 19 years old and since i was 18 i occasionally smoked whenever i was out, but within the past few months i think im after getting addicted..i dont smoke everyday or even every week but i do crave them and im smoking more and more. and when i do smoke i cold easily smoke 15 or more in one sitting! the worst thing is that i vowed to never ever smoke because ive witnessed my dad get cancer and die because of smoking when i was 16, i feel abslutely awful because i feel like im betraying him whenever i smoke! i really hate what im doing so so much but im trying to quit but whenever im stressed i smoke loads, im doing a difficult science course in uni so i stress about that a fair bit, and i know thats no excuse! i HAVE to stop! im just wondering if i never smoked again would the harm ive already done to my body wear off?

and any ideas on other ways to relieve stress!
Please help. I would genuinely appreciate any suggestions
thank you very much!

As a smoker... it's no secret that it's bad for you. My advice would be try to get out while you're still not in the habit of regularly smoking (everyday), if you can go it alone then hats off to you (some people find it easier than others) but there is medical help out there. Your lungs will repair themselves no matter how long you've been smoking, the longer you've smoked obviously the longer the damage will take to repair but as you've not smoked for a large amount of time the damage won't be severe. Smoking doesn't improve your quality of life and everyone eventually wants to quit because it only does harm. I've been smoking for a few years so I'm finding it really hard to quit, the longer you smoke the harder it gets. To summarize, get out while you're in the early stages!



eventually your lungs will recover if you give them a break for long enough. the human body will naturally heal itself. Because cancer is in your family the possibilities of the desease being passed down is greater. however if you quit smoking sooner than later, you'll have a far better chance of recovery. as for a good quitting method, you tell me :(
