A member asked:

Hello doctor i've been smoking for almost a year now and have quit a week ago,can u tell me how do i clean my lungs and tar in it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Self-cleaning: First of all, congratulations on quitting! That is among the most awesome things you can to for your health - seriously! Your lungs are well-equipped to clean themselves. Stopping smoking will allow cilia in the respiratory epithelium to regrow and reanimate. These cells will literally sweep away particulates and pollutants. Your lungs have other cells and systems to help clear foreign substances
