The Benefits of Becoming a Non-Smoker
|
|
 When an individual stops smoking, these are the changes that take place in the body: WITHIN 20 MINUTES - Body temperature of the feet and hands increase to normal
- Pulse rate drops to normal rate
- Blood pressure drops to normal
AFTER 12 HOURS - Pulse rate will slow and skin temperature increase
- Oxygen level in blood increases to normal
- Carbon Monoxide level in blood drops to normal
AFTER 24 HOURS - Chance of heart attack decreases due to improved cardiac function and circulation
- Fine motor coordination will improve
AFTER 48 HOURS - Nerve endings start regrowing, therefore ability to smell and taste is enhanced
AFTER 72 HOURS - Bronchial tubes relax, making breathing easier
- Lung capacity increases
WITHIN 2 WEEKS TO 3 MONTHS - Circulation, stamina and walking improves
1 TO 9 MONTHS - Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease
- Cilia regrows in lungs, increasing ability to reduce infection
- Energy increases
1 YEAR - Risk of heart disease decreases by 90%
- Heart will have returned to nearly normal condition
10 TO 15 YEARS - Risk of lung, tongue, and throat cancer will roughly be the same as if you had never smoked.
