A member asked:
I am 19 i have been having bad upper back pain feels like maybe it's the lungs? i have smoked for a couple years. what could it be?

Likey the back: Pain in the upper back is likely the spine itself rather than the lungs. You can have infections of the lungs that can give you back pain but this is relatively unusual. If the pain persists for more than 6 weeks or if you have fever you should seek medical attention.

What happens when you relapse with smoking? Quit for roughly 5 years, then smoked for a few weeks. Do your lungs and arteries go to back to the shape they were in prior to quitting for 5 years?
