Strong immune system: Previous smokers often have stories like this. Just to gently correct you, you food facts won't help here. To have a healthy immune system you must have a high protein diet. Fruits and veggies don't add much here other than general good nutrition. With your lungs continuing to heal you will get past this! make sure the majority of your calories are proteins!
