Believe it or not - the benefits to health start from within 20 minutes of you putting out your last cigarette. Your body will begin to repair the damage done through smoking almost immediately, kick-starting a series of beneficial health changes that continue for years.
20 minutes: Your blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal
8 hours: Oxygen levels in your blood return to normal.
24 hours: Carbon monoxide has been eliminated from your body. Your lungs start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris.
48 hours: There is no nicotine left in your body. Your ability to taste and smell is greatly improved.
72 hours: Breathing becomes easier. Your bronchial tubes begin to relax and your energy levels increase.
2-12 weeks: Circulation improves throughout the body, making walking and running a whole lot easier.
-9 months: Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems get better as your lung function is increased by up to 10%.
5 years: Heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker.
10 years: Risk of lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker.
debs you are fab!!! i have printed it off and i am going to carry it round in my bag and every time i want a ciggy i will read it to remind me!!! thanks again!!
thats ok willow hope it helps!!
i tell you what used to really bug me when i was trying toi give up!! my mates who were smokers were really supportive but then i had the non smokers giving me advice and used to think how the hell would you kow that it tough giving up you never had to do it!
i didnt give up till i was pregnant and felt i had to i found it easy as every time dave used to light one up id be immediatlety sick and if i tried i was ill for hours!!
best thing i ever did hate smoking aroun me now! and i always think god did i stink like that!
it takes a while but youll get there soon and then you will wondor why you ever started!
good luck let me know how you getting on!:thumbsup:
Yep let us know!! x
i know what you mean debs,it must be annoying for the person giving up to recieve advice off of people who know nothing about it as they have never had to give up or have never even smoked.i smoked a few when i was younger but it didnt appeal to me or get me addicted what so ever,it was just a 'fashion' thing.
now having said that i dont know how you can get addicted to something that you know is so bad for you,and talking about pregnant women who still carry on puffing when preggers i think is discusting,think aout what you are doing to your unborn child.just an opinion,i can see both sides though...
oh yeah.. by the way good luck willow! :)
