Yea, with mother nature there's no backsies on the whole life thing. When you screw it up on the first go-around, you're pretty much screwed for the rest of life. |

damage has been done, but you can regain some of that 20 if you stop for many years. |
|
not what you expected
|
If you dont become a smoker than you dont lose the 20 years in the first place.
Basically. |

When you quit smoking you get free of nicotine, once you have accompllished getting free from smoking you give your lungs a chance to heal and recover. Yes you will get better in time, therefore, once you are done with smoking, you are on your way to healing...... Best wishes |

i don't know? my aunt is 75 years old and she's been smoking since she was 15 and she's still healthy. it depends on the person. some people can chain smoke and drink all their lives and live to be 105. i know it's not typical but it happens. |

It is never too late to quit it. There are always benifits after you quit regardless of how long you have smoked. Good luck!
My father gave up smoking at age of 50 plus after 30 years of smoking, he is a fine human at age of 85. I am also quitting it for a month. |

I think it takes 10 years for your lungs to fully mend. As for the 20 years, my Gran gave up a couple of years back and she's knocking on 85 i can imagine her seeing 105 if she hadnt of picked up smoke. |

As long as you quit by the time you're 35, most of the damage can be undone. |

well there really is no way to get all that crap out of your lungs. and sometimes after quiting smoking will come back to bite youin the but. i had a spanish teacher that smoked in her 20s and quit later. she ended up getting cancer 30 years later. freaky huh? but the sooner you quit the better off you will be. |

its not that you cant be repaired, but you will never be the same person health-wise ever again. but in the long run, you will live longer. 20 years may be gone, but if you continue, that can turn into 30, 40, and so on. quit now. eat healthy. be athletic. itll be a better life and you will be extremely thankful for it. you only get one life so if you start being healthy today, theres no doubt you will live longer if you quit.
my granddad died from smoking and it was very sad. my grandmom quit smoking about 10 years ago, but she turned her life around and is now one of the healthiest people i know, no matter how much damage she did to her lungs. when you quit, everything changes.
many people quit smoking and those who do have better lives. im sure you can quit.
mind over matter. |

the longer u smoke the more years are taken off so if u stop early then u will not have lost as many as a life long smoker. but after u stop the years don't get added back on to your life. all u can do is stop any more from being taken off. your body will heal and you will have a smaller chance of some ailments but it will not give u your years back. |

you don't get the 20 back, but within 24 hours, it;s amazing what happens. too much to describe, you can reverse the damage, and in 15 years, you would be considered the same as a person who has never smoked. goggle, what happens when I quit smoking, you'll be amazed! |
