Doctor tells how long it will take for a person's lungs to clear after quitting smoking
Smoking is a bad habit that causes a lot of serious health problems.
The longer a person smokes, the more serious the consequences. Some changes are irreversible.
Candidate of Medical Sciences Evgeny Popov told aif.ru how much time is required to cleanse and heal the lungs after quitting smoking.
As the doctor noted during a conversation with the press, you need to quit smoking as soon as possible if you have this habit.
During a conversation with journalists, Popov noted that the possibility of complete and high-quality restoration of an organ after quitting smoking directly depends on how much a person smoked before.
When you stop smoking, your cough gets worse and your mucus (phlegm) secretion increases.
But ultimately, the condition of the bronchial tree and gas exchange in the lungs improves.
This can be achieved in about six months.
