I am sure you did a good amount of damage. And seeing that you are still growing, that probably isn't good either. It's anyone's guess as to how much damage you did. There are people who have smoked their whole lives and never get cancer, or any other negative affects from smoking. And then there are people who smoke for a very short time, and end up with cancer, and other problems. You might be okay, you might not. Only time will tell. It's good that you at least had the mind to quit. |

Probably stuck with you for life <:( sorry, but the build up in your lungs is probably permanent. |

Yes there is a possibility you may have long term damage. the symptons can show up now even if you ever feel sick tell someone.
and there are many chemicals in cigarettes so you could have long term damage equivialent to an 80 year old smoking all their life
hope i helped |

of course you have done irreversible damage. smoking one cigarette is irreversible damage. but it is great that you are quitting. ; )

Honestly, it's good that you quit... but you did to irreversible damage.. the best thing to do is to keep up with the quitting or even being around those who smoke!
good luck quitting, i know how tough it can be |

Yes you already damaged your lungs !!!^^ |

No, it's not permanent. Since you stopped, the chemicals will gradually be removed and your lungs will be repaired. Also, the risk of lung cancer doesn't start increasing until you smoke about 200 cigarettes a year, so as long as you stay committed to not smoking, you'll be fine. |

Yes it is irreversible. Why on earth did you count ever smoke you had? didn't you ever loose count? |
|

you may have...
not only with the fact that you're damaging your lungs but more because you may have a very very hard time quitting. Whatever you do, do not pick up another cigarette/whatever you smoke again because you may never be able to stop. And the more time you smoke, the more you'll become addicted.
As for you physical body, there may be some damage done to your lungs, but probably nothing too major. Please stop though |

How on earth do you know that, have you been keeping a list or something? I am impressed!! Putting it into perspective, you have not smoked very much (that seems like a lot, but most people can't count how much they smoke)--quit now, you'll be good. I'm sure there is some sort of irreversible damage somewhere (but not noticeable enough for mankind to ever notice). Hopefully you didn't smoke that much in one day ;)
Find something else to keep track of, that'll help! |

it takes about 7 years for you to clear your lungs and everything. It is good you stopped, there probably isn't a whole lot of damage but ou might have upped your chances of getting cancer a little. |
|
lizzie bo bizzieee. :)
 |
i heard if you stop, after 7 years you have the body of a non-smoker.
well its 7 years or something like that... |

Everyone is different. But sounds like you didn't smoke that much. But I'd go confront a doctor anyways just to make sure your lungs are doing well. |

Your best bet would be to go to your doctor and let him test your lungs etc to find out what damage has been done. |

your fine don't worry and be happy that you gave it up.... I really wish that I could count how many cigs I had in my entire life, if I'm to do that I'll probably need to hold the zero button for like five minutes.. that is definitely irreversible! |

well honey, i know how tempting it is to start at your age. im not much older than you and i did for awhile and realised what a filthy habit it is. Congrats on quitting though! i know how hard it can be. i asked my doctor the same question and he told me that since i quit shortly after i started, i had and will pretty much ALWAYS have extra toxins in my lungs. it sux, but thems the breaks. ok, breakdown, you should just have some gunk in your lung tissue and it may not cause major harm down the road but i cant be sure.Again, well done on quitting! hope that helps!
*muah*

It is very unlikely that you have done any permanent damage, as this is not that much that you have smoked. Now, if you continued smoking often for many years, some big damage could result, but for a handful of smokes, no worries.
While no smoking is healthy smoking, there is a threshold where your risk just does not really increase, and you are well below that threshold. |

Congratulations for quitting. I don't think you will suffer too badly for it. It will take a year to get your lungs fully clean if that's all you've smoked. It's terrible you know. Can cause all kinds of nasty stuff the longer you smoke so good for you!
They say it takes three years for every year that you've smoked for your lungs to rid themselves of the tar built up etc.
You should be just fine. |

No, you didn't do permanent damage. The tar will take years to clear out, and the damage will repair slowly, but it will heal completely. |

You have.
But at least you got to look cool in front of your friends, eh?

This is strange that you have kept track of the numbers. After 10 years of not smoking and not being around ANY smoke, your lungs completely heal. You, luckily, are not in all that bad of shape has you haven't smoked TOO much. Within a few weeks, you should see your lung capacity rising and your sense of smell and taste becoming very strong. |

Wow...it's amazing that you kept track like that! Well there is good news for you my friend. If you quit now your body and lungs will recover. Any damage that may have occured you are most likely not even going to notice at your age but if you never do it again all effects could be history in a couple of years. Hope everything works out for you. |
