Actually, your lungs' cillia are much akin to braincells in that once you lose them you can't really get them back. So, once you kill off a lot of your cillia (which is the cause of smoker's cough) you can't repair them to anywhere close to the level they once were. BUT, you can increase your vital capacity, which is the amount of air you can inhale, and also increase your VO^2 max.

Basically, you can never fix the filtering mechanisms in your lungs, but as long as you keep up the aerobic exercise you can increase your bodies ability to absorb oxygen which will stop you from being out of breath etc.
toothpaste100 Reviewed by toothpaste100 on . Running and Lungs Hey everybody. Well ive been running for the past 8 months id say in order to get into better shape. Now i also smoke alot of weed and sometimes cigarettes. I was just wonderin if the runnin helps clear my lungs up (i think it does) or if it is like bad for the lungs. Also i was wonderin if weed deposits tar and such in your lungs like tobaccao does. Thanks, later Rating: 5
