There is only one way to heal your Lungs from damage caused by smoking.

QUIT !!!

Smoking causes a lot of damage to the body, and to the lungs in particular, but the good news is;

If you stop smoking, your lungs can heal!

Smoke causes a lot of damage to the body, especially in the Lungs and Airways.

Let me explain,

There are small fingerlike projections in your airway, called Cilia.
These hair like projections move in a wave like manner to remove mucus, dirt and debris from the airway.
Smoking paralyses this cilia, so it is not as effective as cleaning out your lungs, so mucus and other debris accumulates in the airways, and clogs it up.

This causes cough and other symptoms and makes you more prone to respiratory infections.
When this goes on for a while, the lung tissue becomes inflamed and scarred, and do not allow for adequate exchange of oxygen.

When you quit smoking,

Within 24 hrs, the carbon monoxide level in your blood starts reducing.
With time, the Cilia resumes their beating motion....
They become more effective in clearing out the lungs.
Less mucus is produced, reduced risk of infections and the Lungs become clearer.

For the normal function of the Lungs to return, it may take up to 9 months.

But this is only if irreversible damage has not been done.
So yes your Lungs can heal, if you STOP Smoking.

So QUIT

But these are just your lungs,

What of your Heart, Circulatory System, Skin?
WHAT OF YOUR SPERM COUNT???????
You nor go like born pikin?
