A member asked:
Stopped smoking for about a year and a half. is there any tar buildup in my lungs any more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not any more: Should not be any additional tar build-up in your lungs any more. A lot of the damage that has been done already cannot be reversed. But you did the best thing, keep up with it!
