Lungs May Not Fully Recover After Quitting Smoking

A new study found that while some lung cells can recover after quitting smoking, others continue to show changes that increase the risk of lung diseases.

Quitting smoking is still very beneficial as it lowers the risk of many serious illnesses and improves quality of life.

However, the lungs may not return completely to their pre-smoking condition, especially if significant damage has already occurred.

Experts emphasize that quitting smoking at any age is beneficial and can improve breathing, reduce symptoms, and increase life expectancy.
