Quit smoking: Here is why.
October 11th, 2006 | by jnousis |First of all I am talking from the safe side. I have never tried smoking. The reason is pretty simple. I am getting easily addicted to things I like so if I ever started smoking and liked it, I would definitely had hard time to stop it. Should you decide to quit smoking here is what will happen to your body:
- In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
- In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
- In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
- In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
- In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
- In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
- In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
- In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
- In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
- In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
Of course, apart from the health benefits you will also have some great savings. Reward yourself with vacations paid from the money you saved off cigarettes!
