Sup /fit/

I'm 18 and lose 45lb so far, with another 50 to go. I started smoking just before my 16th birthday and smoked around 5-10 cigarettes mostly on weekdays, and 10-20 on weekends when i turned 18. I havent smoked in over 3 months now, and i am physically fitter. Has 2 years of casual smoking caused significant irreversable damage to my lungs? I want to get in the best shape possible and i read that over time, your body will cleanse all the crap out of it caused by smoking.

Anyone know anything on the subject?

It'll take more than 3 months. Maybe a few years.

There's a bit of permanent damage but insignificant as long as you dont start smoking again. I believe it's something like 3 or 4 years for a tar deposit to get removed from the lungs.

Quitting smoking immediately causes your blood to cary 6% more carbon dioxide away from the cells. That higher turnover rate of CO2 allows more O2 to be in the blood quicker.

You're still young, something like 80--90% recovery only takes a few years, and complete recovery is like 15 years.
