Yes, I quit smoking, again. This time I wanted to share the benefits of quitting. Those benefits start as early as 20 minutes after your last cigarette! I only listed the benefits through one year.
| Your blood pressure, pulse rate, and the temperature of your hands and feet will all return to normal. |
| Your blood oxygen level will have increased to normal and carbon monoxide levels will have dropped to normal. |
| Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. |
| 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. |
| Your body has physically adjusted to again functioning without nicotine and the more than 3,500 chemical particles and 500 gases present in each and every puff. |
| Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function is beginning to improve. |
| Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. |
| Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or 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. |
| Your excess risk of coronary heart disease has dropped to less than half that of a smoker. |
