A member asked:

Is there a way to rebuild and heal my lungs fast after quitting smoking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Natural healing: Takes a long time if there is no permanent damage. The body is a self healing machine. The only thing you can do is attend to a good diet and lifestyle and wait for healing to occur.
