well,7 days of not-smoking wont change appearance of lung tissue if there was constant smoking in past. you need to stop smoking at least for 3 months so that difference can be seen. but you should go step by step.it is important that there is no suspected malignant lesion. You should try to stop smoking completely or at least reduce it. It will not affect just your lungs,but your heart function and circulation as well Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
