Stop smoking: While some of the damage to the lungs can be permanent, smoking a few of cigarettes every day for 6 months is a very small amount. Congratulations on quitting. Chances are that if you ever were to get lung cancer, it is unlikely it would come from this degree of smoking!

Early enough: Practically none if you stop right now and never again touch a cigarette. You are a smart guy to quit on time .
