Put the cigarettes down and never smoke again. Not so easy but it can be done. You are already displaying symptoms, i.e. your breathing problems so you know that it is affecting you, so you need to quit. In addition to your breathing difficulties, there is a history of cancer in your family so you really have to quit!
I haven't smoked for 7 months and 4 days. Before my quit I was smoking for 38 yrs. and using an inhaler for the last 3 yrs. Since my quit I find that I use the inhaler about once every two weeks, not bad from twice a day!
You are young and have many, many years ahead of you so you need to do it now and not waste anymore time worrying about it. You can and will heal but you need to stop now!
Go to whyquit.com and get a reality check. Look through the "motivation" section. Also, for support, read through "Joel's library". This should answer any question you have and it truly does help explain why we do the things we do : )
Hang in there and let us know how you are doing.
