Not to worry. The getting sick part would be a result of her smoking over the time she has, not from quitting. The sooner she quits, the better!!! Quitting smoking is the absolute best thing she can do. Be proud of her and encourage her during this hard time.

i dont want to worry you but when you quit smoking ( assuming your mom has been smoking for several yers) the chemicals that comes from smoking doesnt dissapear immediatly after you quite, it takes aehile. You have to havea healthy diet, exercise become healthy. It takes years for the harm that has gone to your lungs to slowly decrease. I'm not sure but i dont thinkt hat it will ever fully go away.

Smoking is not the only thing that causes lung cancer. Sorry to say that there are many ways to get hurt and diseased in this world. Unfortunately most of them are by accident and genetics. Smoking won't necessarily give you cancer but it will dramatically increase your risk. Quitting always helps but again, sorry there are no guarantees in life. We just do the best we can do.

Every day after you quit is a good day. The lungs get better and better.

Whether or not she will get cancer will depend on how her body is coping with her current level of smoking. If she stops right now, her chances of getting cancer will be greatly reduced. Not stopping will increase her chances. Your mother could suffer some ill effects from her body detoxifying itself once she does. That should not last for more than a few weeks and she will gradually feel the benefits of being a NON smoker.
