That s a very good decision you have taken to quit smoking.  Yes, as your age is 21, your lung function may be restored to normal,  once you stop smoking. But you need to undergo some tests to know upto what extent the smoking has affected your lung function.consukt online for further evaluation

As you are young, if you completely quit now, you may be able to regain your normal lung function in 10 to 15 years as you have smoked a lot. However, do not feel depressed as you can overcome it with willpower and if not, medications can help you. Kindly consult.
