How do I detox my lungs after 3 years of smoking?
Posted Saturday, March 20, 2010 by admin
It’s been 4 days since my last cigarette, I’m dry coughing but not much is coming up, what can I do to get all the years of smoking out of my lungs? Any vitamins? I just visited lungdetox.com or something and I’m not spending over $100 on an “Ebook” just for them to tell me what vitamins I need to take that cost just the same. I’m not going to buy any programs or series of books or dvds, I just want to know for free what has worked for you.
Thanks.
You can’t. What you have done to your lungs cannot be fixed, repaired, or reversed.
Look at this site for more info and to see the benefits of quitting smoking:
EDIT: Go ahead and ask your doctor when your alveoli will heal and when you will be able to breathe as well as before you started smoking.
It’s pretty simple and obvious. Just don’t smoke any more cigarettes and your body will do the rest naturally and for free. It is a fact that damage can be reversed over time, and 3 years is not that long. Don’t listen to any of the anti-smoke-freaks who insist you have ruined yourself and it is all doom and gloom. Your body really is amazing and will heal itself. It is a scientific fact your body will almost be back at 100% about 15 years after quitting smoking. But the differences to your lungs, your heart rate, your blood pressure…many different things…will greatly benefit over just a few weeks off the cigs.
Just never smoke again.
I would advise talking to your doctor or pharmacist if you need help to maintain your non-smoking. 4 days isn’t long and it will probably be very difficult do go “cold turkey” after 3 years, depending on how many you smoked a day of course.
You have made a massive step in the right direction though, congratulations. If you feel the cravings are getting too strong, please do get help. Patches, gum, inhalers, pills…there are many ways to help you quit for good.
Don’t listen to any “detox” or “herbal” remedies. Your body will do it all on it’s own. Best of luck
