Hi docs, would my lungs be permantly damaged from smoking?

Impossible to say: Since it depends on how much you smoke, and for how long, and what your genetic and other predispositions are to damage from tobacco smoke. I can say that at least two-thirds of smokers get some form of damage from smoking, although it may be to their hearts, or to their blood vessels, or by causing head/neck cancer rather than lung damage. Your doctor can order lung function tests, talk to md.
