Smoking

The health benefits of stopping smoking become evident within a very short time period.

• As soon as you stop smoking, your body will begin to rid itself of tobacco toxins.

• Your clothes, hair and breath will smell fresher.

• After just 20 minutes, your circulation will improve.

• Within eight hours nicotine levels in the blood will have halved.

• Within a few weeks your sense of taste and smell will improve.

• Your overall general health will improve; you will feel fitter and breathing problems will gradually disappear.

• Within a year or two of not smoking your risk of having a heart attack is reduced by half that it would have been had you continued.

• After three years of not smoking your risk of having a heart attack is similar to that of a life-long non-smoker.

• After 10 years of not smoking the risk of getting lung cancer is halved. The longer you stop the lower the risk.

• You will save money.

• Friends and family will also benefit.

• The sooner you decide to quit the better but remember: it is never too late to quit smoking.
