...lungs never totally heal. Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the airway. Some of that inflammation can be reversed. But if the inflammation has led to scarring of the walls of the airway, some of that cannot. Emphysema is a disease in which the walls of the fine air sacs of the lung - the place where the lung does its business of exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide - break down. So tiny little air sacs become bigger ones - and they're less efficient in transporting oxygen. The lung can't grow new walls for these air sacs. The lung loses tiny...
