  I have never smoked so I can’t really answer the question properly. All I know is that our lungs are very resilient to smoking damage. They can repair themselves if the damage caused by the smoking isn’t too bad and you haven’t smoked for too long. I remember reading a fact somewhere that it takes the same length of time for your lungs to repair as the duration you have smoked.

  I’ve only smoked a couple of times so I think I’m fine, but things like the pictures of lungs from smokers are pretty gross right?

apparently you can smoke 5 a day without it harming your lungs
