Can early signs of air trapping and hyperinflation and small airway obstruction with normal fev1/fvc and minimal symptoms be reversed or halted in someone in their 30s? smoking history, less than 10 pack years but smoking or vaping 13 years total?

You are right that damage from smoking could be limited and slowly reversed if you quit the exposure to injury. The body has ability for restructuring with appropriate management.
