What Happens to Your body if you stop smoking Right now?

Forward This To Friends and Family... They Will Thank You

I think one of the main reasons it's so hard to quit smoking is
because all the benefits of quitting and all the dangers of
continuing
seem very far away. Well, here's a little timeline about some of the
more immediate effects of quitting smoking and how that will affect
your body 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.

So, you have more immediate things to look forward to if you quit now
besides just freaking out about not being able to smoke.
