Hello. Hope your problem has been resolved, but, if not, Yes this is normal when you quit smoking you have years of tar and build up in your lungs, your body is going to begin to get rid of the toxins in your lungs, therefore, you are going to be coughing more and short of breath as all of that stuff in your lungs is breaking up and you're expelling it.

This does not mean that you have respiratory disease nor does it mean that there is anything worse than that going on.

It will pass if it hasn't already!!

You were smoking cigareets ten per day since last twenty years and stopped smokingHow long it will take to heal the damage caused by smoking?

Depending on what damage you mean, it will vary. In certain organs the damage will take longer, for instance lung damage, depending on what the damage consists of, may take as long as 10 years. If you developed emphysema, it will never be healed and will actually get worse despite smoking cessation. The odds of having a heart attack reduce tremendously after smoking cessation, approaching the odds of nonsmokers within 2 years or so. Here's a more complete listing: * 20 Minutes after your last cigarette: ** Blood pressure decreases ** Temperature of hands and feet increases to normal (because of improved blood circulation) * 8 Hours after quitting: ** The carbon monoxide level (that's car exhaust and it's in cigarette smoke!) in your blood drops to normal * 24 Hours after quitting: ** Chance of a heart attack decreases * 2 Weeks to 3 Months after quitting: ** Blood circulation improves ** Lung function (how well the lungs are working) increases up to 30% * 1 to 9 Months after quitting: ** Coughing, congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decrease ** The cilia (small hairs that line the airways) go back to working normally, meaning that your lungs get cleaner and function better overall * 1 Year after quitting: ** Excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's * 5 Years after quitting: ** Risk of stroke is reduced to the risk of a nonsmoker (between 5 and 15 years after quitting) * 10 Years after quitting: ** The lung cancer death rate is about half the rate of a smoker who has not quit ** The risk of oral and throat cancer, bladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancer decreases * 15 Years after quitting: ** The risk of coronary heart disease is equal to a nonsmoker's risk.
