Can your lungs recover after years of smoking? Doctors explain
- Lungs can partly recover after years of smoking or pollution, but some damage may remain permanent, doctors say.
- Quitting smoking helps the lungs’ natural cleaning system recover and may ease coughing and breathing problems.
- Damage from emphysema or severe lung scarring cannot be reversed, but quitting can slow further lung damage.
- Doctors recommend avoiding smoke and pollution, staying active and drinking enough water to support lung health.
