Smoking, which has been hailed as a cancer in modern society, has plagued the lives of countless people for a long time. According to statistics, there are more than 100 million smokers in China, and cases of diseases and deaths caused by smoking are endless. However, smokers often face difficulties in quitting smoking. One of the most concerned questions is, can lung function recover after quitting smoking? The expert's answer may surprise you.
First of all, we need to understand how much damage smoking does to the lungs. Smoking can cause problems such as damage to lung cells, narrowing of the airways, lung infections, etc. Long-term smoking increases the risk of serious diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

When you quit smoking, the damage to the cells in the lungs will gradually heal and the narrowing of the airways will be relieved. Not only that, but quitting smoking also reduces the risk of developing diseases such as lung cancer. However, it is important to note that quitting smoking is not an overnight thing, and the recovery of lung function is also a gradual process.
So, how do you assess the recovery of lung function after quitting smoking? This requires a series of tests, such as pulmonary function tests, imaging tests, etc. Experts remind that ex-smokers should have relevant examinations one month, three months, six months and one year after quitting smoking, so as to detect and deal with possible problems in time.
In addition, there are some practical tips and methods to recommend in the process of quitting smoking. Here are some tips for dry goods:
