What your body will improve if you stop smoking immediately

smoke killsI’m glad I mixed with some “goody goody” friends when I was in my teens. We never accepted smoking as a “cool” way to act. It was pretty stupid anyway to puff smoke from your mouth and having your breath smell like dirty socks. I think if I was a smoker, I would be trying very hard to quit right now because of the annual increment in its price.

Anyway, here’s what happens if you stop smoking immediately - like right now.

  • 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.
