[David Tinkelman, M.D.]

Formonide is a combination drug – an inhaled steroid anti-inflammatory drug plus a long-acting bronchodilator:  Budesonide and Formoteral

Your spirometry results demonstrate reversible obstruction of air flow.  That is improvement of airflow on the post-bronchodilator exam and decided improvement after two weeks of therapy.  At age 22, the most likely diagnoses are asthma and (smoking induced) bronchitis, the two diagnoses not unrelated.

What is clearly evident is that your lungs (specifically your bronchi or airways) are (genetically) very sensitive to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke and that continued smoking will very likely lead to progressive, eventually irreversible, lung damage.

You ask “will i be able to smoke after recovery without the problem recurring?”  The undeniable answer is NO.  In fact the direct opposite is true.  That is, you can count on the problem recurring with reasonable certainty, with resumption of smoking.

Should you doubt any of this, I suggest that you consult with a lung specialist, for another opinion.

This is an important moment for you.  One that will allow you to make the life-changing decision to quit smoking.

Good luck
