Yes. But if you stop now, your lungs can get better.
I'm telling this from experience.

I Smoked For 15 Years, Am I At Risk Of Lung Cancer?
The longer you smoke for the higher the risk. So stopping after 15 years is much better than stopping at 20 or 25 years, and certainly much better than never stopping at all.
About 15 years after you stopped your risk of getting lung cancer will be about (in a statistical average way) the same as someone who never smoked at all. Year on year, normal cells will have replaced the abnormal potentially abnormal cells in the lungs.
