I quit smoking roughly 3 months ago, since I missed being able to run and not desire death afterwards. Could already feel big difference with improved sleep after just 1 week of quitting, with sense of taste and smell also noticeably improving. Lung capacity that hasn't returned as much as I wished though.

It's a (good) decision you've made for the rest of your life, so don't feel all effects have to appear quickly. It takes about five years for the body to (almost) fully recover from regular smoking. According to the CDC it takes 15 years to return to parity of risk with non-smokers.
