HI Freddie
You have stopped at the right time. If you have only smoked for 4 years and are still only 17 now, then you haven't smoked for long enough for the long-term health problems that cigarettes cause to affect you. Your body will get back to its healthy self in no time at all. Don't worry about it because you have stopped now and that's the important thing.
Regards
Gary

Will attempt to answer any question on respiratory disease, but please don`t ask me to make a diagnosis. Although I`ve worked as a respiratory specialist nurse in the UK for 6 years, I know nothing about the health systems of other countries. I have a particular interest in asthma, COPD, spirometry, and tuberculosis.
