The time it takes for the lungs to recover from vaping varies from person to person, depending on factors such as the smoker's age, amount of cigarettes smoked per day, age, and the presence of medical conditions.
During the period of time when the lungs gradually recover after quitting smoking, the respiratory function will improve and the lung function will begin to return to normal. Usually within 12 hours of quitting smoking, the carbon monoxide level in the body gradually returns to normal. Lung function will be significantly improved after 2 to 3 months. Pulmonary ciliary function recovered after 9 months. If the smoking history is shorter, the amount of cigarettes smoked per day is smaller, the patient is younger, the self-healing ability is better, and the patient pays attention to daily care, the lungs will recover faster.
The time it takes for the lungs to recover from vaping is also related to the impact of vaping on the lungs. The impact of vaping on the lungs is currently unknown and requires more research.
