Seven Proven Tips to Care for Your Lungs as a Smoker

29 April 2024

It is a general truth, that quitting smoking and avoiding cigarettes is the most important action to detox the lungs from smoking. When you stop smoking, your lungs begin to heal from the effects after 8 weeks.


But this article is written not to criticize your preferences but rather to educate you on seven ways you can care for your lungs as a smoker. 


Seven Proven Tips to Care for Your Lungs as a Smoker 

1. Steam Therapy

Steam therapy can soothe any irritation caused by smoking, dry or inflamed airways, making breathing feel easier and more comfortable. Inhaling warm, moist air from a humidifier or steam shower can help loosen and thin mucus secretions in your airways. This makes it easier to cough up and eliminate irritants and potential toxins.


2. Anti-smoke and Lung Detox Tea

Our anti-smoke and lung detox tea contains powerful antioxidant compounds that help reduce inflammation in the lungs. The detox tea also helps to reduce the risk of respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) by promoting lung health and reducing inflammation.  

Detoxifying the lungs can also aid in the removal of harmful pollutants, chemicals, and particulate matter that may accumulate from environmental exposure, smoking, or other sources. 



3. Postural Drainage (if needed)

For people with chronic lung conditions like COPD, specific postural drainage techniques can help loosen and drain mucus from different lung sections. Talk to your doctor or a respiratory therapist to learn these techniques properly.


4. Minimize Secondhand Smoke and Air Pollution

Avoid smoky environments and stay indoors on high-pollution days. Consider air purifiers for your home, especially if you live in a polluted area.


5. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water (around eight glasses daily) helps thin mucus secretions and keeps your airways hydrated. This makes it easier to clear out irritants and promotes optimal lung function.


6. Stay up-to-date on vaccinations

Vaccinations like pneumonia and influenza can be particularly important for people with compromised lung function.


7. Keep a good mouth hygiene 

Brushing your teeth twice daily can help prevent infections in your mouth (an infection is a sickness caused by germs). 

As a smoker, it is important to understand that the best way to care for your lungs is to abstain from smoking. However, with these seven tips, you can improve your lung health.
