A member asked:
If a person stops smoking, how soon afterward will the shortness of breath go away if that person is otherwise healthy and fit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoking: The longer they smoked before stopping the longer it will take to improve. If irreversible changes caused by the smoking, it won't improve much.
