Smoking Cessation Rapidly Reduces Cell Recovery in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid, While Alveolar Macrophage Fluorescence Remains High

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in smokers (22.6 ±7.8 pack-years) before (n = 18) and 1 (n = 14), 3 (n = 13), 6 (n = 11), 9 (n = 9), and 15 (n = 8) months after smoking cessation. The recovery of the BAL fluid increased after smoking cessation (p
