Smoked 1/2 ppd for 6 years. quite 2 weeks ago. how long until my immune system returns to normal? will my body ever be like a never-smoker?

Congrats: Kudos for quitting smoking. Since you had not been a long-time heavy smoker , you will likely end up ok. However one's lung changes forever with smoking even though the changes in your case will not likely be significant. Your immune system should be ok as well.
