Benefits of quitting smoking:
Your circulation will improve, and your blood pressure and heart rate will get lower. This immediately reduces your risk of a heart attack.
The nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in your blood go down, and the oxygen level rises.
The nicotine and carbon monoxide have left your body. Your sense of smell and taste will start to improve.
Your breathing will improve and your energy levels will increase.
Your lung capacity could increase by up to 30%.
Your chance of having a heart attack drops by half.
The risk of smoking-related cancers is greatly reduced.
The risk of lung cancer is reduced by half.
The risk of having a heart attack is the same as a non-smoker.
If you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, a mugful of tar will build up in your lungs over the course of a year. The toxic chemicals in this tar cause cancer. When you give up smoking, your lungs quickly fight back by coughing up tar.
