i smoked cigs for 1 month averaging about 3 a day. just wondering if any irreversible was done. i did quit since then. i started smoking for a month after a period of depression a couple of months ago 2-3 cigs most days with a couple more on bad days. i would estimate i probably had 4 packs total over the period. i went cold turkey as i started to get my life together and hated the ill feeling from them. i exercise regularly and eat healthy and i am still young. i would just like to clear my head and hear that i did no damage permanent to my lungs. i know it takes a bit to recover hopefully to 100%.
