Dear , I felt happy to hear that you left smoking. God bless you. You have smoked just for 2 years. Your lungs have the capacity to repair itself. On an average it takes 6 months to one year for your lungs to repair itself. The best method is to do lung age test. You may consult nearest physician to do this. Take care.

If you have the determination to quit, you can do without any medicine/help. Think of sufferings of persons who are smoking. Have good diet and do physical activity.
