The Phenomenon: Sometimes there is so much damage and so much 'gunk' in the lungs that there is no ability or time for the body to work on healing when one is smoking regularly. It is often the case that the lungs seem worse when they stop smoking...Patients get pain, cough, and other odd sensations like you describe. These are often the 'reason' people start back up smoking. But, if they persist symptoms go awa.
