Your lungs will recover if you stop within a few years. But it’s really not worth the struggle, so don’t even start. It’s not only unhealthy, but it’s expensive!
Actually, the risk that you will notice right away, is that your lung capacity diminishes very very quickly! Does your friend like to be active? Sports, dancing, running,swimming, climbing stairs, you name it. Your friend will within days, weeks literally, notice SHORTNESS OF BREATH compared to before. Maybe not like an older person, but LESS. Can’t quite go quite as far as before, or as fast as before,etc. Sinus headaches, migraines, very possible. Unfortunately, your body will adjust, and you’ll adjust. The headaches may fade, you’ll get used to not trying to win the race, etc. And of course, all the obvious things will follow: Addiction,I’m sure you know the lung cancer, emphysema,financial loss buying them and paying dr. bills, society looking down on you, higher health insurance payments,not getting the “non-smokers only” jobs, etc. STOP NOW, WHEN YOU CAN………………….this is from a smoker of 38 years………BELIEVE ME
if you start to smoke at these ages you have a great risk to be a lung cancer at the age of 40-50 i saw many patients that starts to smoke at the age of 14-15 then died because of small cell metastasing lung cancer…
your friend will get lung cancer at the age of 30 and will have heart problems that might require him/her to have a bypass and he might need to even be hospitalised or die
just stop it will only ruin your life there is nothing to gain from smoking if you do it to be cool what happens when its not so cool any more when your on a breathing machine or your heart messes up i started younger and now i regret it i am only 24 but have health problems resulting from smoking , Please if you care for this friend help them to not smoke ..
