That is ok, but all things considering, since you smoked for years daily really only several years of total tobacco abstinence will help heal the damage, and really, if that. The problem with the particularities of the carcinogens in tobacco smoke, especially the radioactive isotopes such as lead-210 and polonium-210, are that these can cause permanent genetic damage to cells. So the cancer becomes irreversable, the damage is done. I also used to smoke cigars after I finally quit smoking cigarettes, but after a few short years of that routine, I realized that while I still absolutely loved tobacco, even just a few cigars was still going to inevitably kill me.
