The Time To Quit Smoking Is Now
by Bill Nadraszky
To most people smoking is a dirty habit that is a waste of time and money. Anyone that does smoke knows that quitting is more than just saying that they are going to quit smoking cold turkey. I know that year after your last cigarettes ago when I smoked I would go to sleep worried that the next day I would get sick. I remember how in long meetings I would think of nothing but when I would be able to get out to have a cigarette. I also remember how I would have to make sure that before going out anywhere I would have to change my clothes to make sure that non smokers would not be able to smell the smoke on me.
Really the whole smoking habit was embarrassing and was a real hit to my self esteem. I was very happy and excited about life the day that I realized that I would not have to smoke anymore, knowing that I had quit smoking for good.
I quit smoking and you can too.
Look at the benefits of quitting smoking and what you can look forward to from the very first hour that you have quit smoking.
20 minutes after your last cigarette
Your blood pressure, pulse rate, and the temperature of your hands and feet will all return to normal.
8 hours after your last cigarette
Your blood oxygen level will have increased to normal and carbon monoxide levels will have dropped to normal.
24 hours after your last cigarette
Your risk of a heart attack will have decreased by 50%.
48 hours after your last cigarette
Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal.
72 hours after your last cigarette
Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites will now have passed from your body via your urine. You can also expect the symptoms of chemical withdrawal to have peaked in intensity. Your bronchial tubes are beginning to relax thus making it easier to breathe. Your lung capacity has also started to increase.
10 days to 2 weeks after your last cigarette
Your brain and body have now physically adjusted to again functioning without nicotine and the more than 3,500 chemical particles and 500 gases present in each and every puff.
3 weeks to 3 months after your last cigarette
Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. Your overall lung function has improved up to thirty percent.
1 to 9 months after your last cigarette
Any sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath have decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean, and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased.
1 year after your last cigarette
Your excess risk of coronary heart disease has dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
5 to 15 years after your last cigarettes
Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker.
10 years after your last cigarettes
Your risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half if you were an average smoker (one pack per day). Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat and esophagus is now half that of a smoker's.
15 years after your last cigarettes
Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Your risk of lung cancer has decreased by 80 to 90%. Your overall risk of death has returned to near that of a person who has never smoked.
Quit smoking today and the rest of your life is yours.
