Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Smoking is very bad habit. So you should stop it as soon as possible.
After quitting smoking, for better lung health, do following things.
1. Avoid dust and pollution.
2. Start deep breathing exercises.
3. Start incentive spirometry.
4. Enroll yourself in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy is done.
5. Eat healthy food, rich in vitamin, protein etc to improve immunity.
6. Get done adult Pulmonary vaccination like pneumococcal and Influenza vaccines to prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
