What happens when you quit?
About 20 minutes after
your last cigarette, your
heart rate and blood
pressure start to drop
A mere 24 hours later, nicotine levels in your blood will drop to zero
In the next few days, carbon monoxide levels in your blood will drop
to normal
Continue to stay strong
because in between the
first and the twelfth
month, your coughing
and shortness of breath
will decrease
In about 10-15 years, your
risk of lung cancer falls to
about half that of a
smoker. Risk of cancers
of the bladder,
esophagus, and kidney
decreases.
In 5-10 years, your susceptibility to cancers of the mouth, throat, and voice box drop by half. Your risk of stroke will also decrease.
Between your 3rd and
6th nicotine-and - tobacco-free year, risk
of heart attack and coronary heart disease will drop sharply
After 1 year, your risk of coronary heart disease is about half that of a smoker.
*Reduced risks refer to quitting in comparison to continued use
There is no time like the present. #QuitToday
