Lungs do clear up after one stops smoking. Does the same benefit occur with blocked arteries?

   No. And it isn’t completely true that lungs clear up after smoking cessation. You have to have been off cigarettes for at least 5 years for that to really be proven, and it can only be proven then by having a spirometry test in a lab to measure your lung capacity. If you have emphysema, your lungs will never “clear up.” Lung tissue does not regenerate.

   No, it does not. A blocked artery must be surgically unblocked. Plaque buildup in the arteries slows but doesn’t stop completely or clear up on its own.

   no it does not. but it may decrease more plaque formation in your arteries. along with diet and exercise you can decrease your chances of getting an occluded artery/aretries. especially if it runs in your family.
