Don't know: It is great that you are stopping. The degree of damage depends on many factors but you can be sure there will be less damage if you,stop now. Try to focus on your improved health rather than the possible da age you have done. It will help you to keep up the good work!

What happens when you relapse with smoking? Quit for roughly 5 years, then smoked for a few weeks. Do your lungs and arteries go to back to the shape they were in prior to quitting for 5 years?
