One well-known risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking. Both smoking and vaping involve heating a substance and inhaling the resulting fumes. 

However, the link between vaping and lung cancer is still being investigated, though, because it is still a relatively new practise.

Some damaged tissue can regenerate in the lungs. However, if the damage is too severe, it can be irreversible.

Steam therapy, or steam inhalation, involves inhaling water vapor to open the airways and may also help to loosen mucus.

Coughing is the body’s way of naturally expelling toxins that it has trapped in mucus. Controlled coughing loosens excess mucus in the lungs, sending it up through the airways.

Postural drainage involves lying in different positions to use gravity to remove mucus from the lungs. This practice may improve breathing and help treat or prevent lung infections.

Green tea contains many antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation in the lungs.

Eating anti-inflammatory foods can reduce inflammation to relieve congestion.
