It will be very interesting to see that lung age reduce down over time, now that you have quit!

My lung age was 86 after my test last year.I recently got another test

and no age was givin,just that I have probable asthma.My doctor did not put me on anything to help my breathing.He wants to wait and see if it gets better or worse on its own.:eek:
