So you made the decision to stop smoking - good! Smoking for year can have some deleterious effects that may remain long term. You are young and your body naturally heals itself. The greatest problem is likely to be the way the lungs clean themselves. Tiny hair like cell projections waft and push dust and tar out of the lungs. This process is damaged by smoking. Exercise, rest well, no smokes
