Any Suggestion For Lungs To Recover Naturally While Quitting Smoking?

Hi Doctor, I am a 57 year old female. I have smoked for over 30 years. I am having a hard time quitting but still trying. I know the best thing to do is to quit for the sake of my lungs and my life however, is there anything I can do to help my lungs recover naturally while in the quitting process?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Smoking is very bad habit and it not only damages lungs but also heart and kidneys. So better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
If you really determined enough to quit smoking but finds it difficult then you can go for rehabilitation center and talk with psychologist about it. They will give you proper counselling about it. Counselling plays very vital role in smoking cessation. So enroll yourself in deaddiction center.
For lung health, start Pulmonary Rehabilitation with chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises.
Avoid chemically exposure, dust, fumes, smoke exposure.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
