A member asked:
If i have smoked for ten years around about a pack a day. how much damage have i done and is it repairable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should quit: There is not a way to quantify how much damage you have done. It is likely reversible if you quit smoking and do not resume. You should see your doctor.
