Hello Sir ,
Once you start smoking and you smoke on a continuous basis , there is a certain amount of lung damage which will never be same like a non smoker lung . But it is an excellent step to stop smoking and it requires a lot of courage to do so .
And ceasing smoking prevents the lung from further damage and at the same time it saves you from cardiovascular diseases as well .
But we can never be very sure that the amount of smoking has cause a lung damage but it all depends on the quantity . But again
Keep up this good effort . All the best sir
