If you've been smoking for more than a year now, your lungs would look like the chimney of a factory - charred and black with smoke, dirty with sticky residue of nicotine and tar.

Doctors and med magazines tell you that it would normally take you fifteen smoke-free years to get your lungs looking pink and healthy again.
So, maybe you've quit the habit or maybe you've decided to stop smoking (which is in itself a supremely difficult task - we'll get to that soon).
Of course, this bomb would slowly become inactive IF you stopped smoking. But doctors and med journals don't paint a rosy picture for ex-smokers. According to them, you've got to stop smoking for at least 15 years (probably more) for your lungs to get back to normal.

To make matters worse, an ex-smoker living in the city is STILL exposing his lungs to a lot of noxious fumes and carbon from vehicles and factories. Short of relocating to the top of a secluded mountain, there's nothing you can do about this.
An ex-smoker is also a victim of his peculiar circumstances, which makes it difficult to avoid cigarette smoke altogether. As a smoker, you likely have a number of friends who continue to smoke. Obviously, you can't drop your friends just because you've decided to change your habits.
This means that even if you stop smoking TODAY, you could be breathing in smoke released into the air from various sources. Your lungs are still being subjected to a load of irritants.
Of course, people who've never smoked are also taking this all in, so why are they not under the same threat? A non-smoker's lungs are more than up to the task of dealing with pollution, smoke and a little passive smoking.
