The Benefits of quitting smoking.

When you quit smoking, you immediately begin to improve your health:

• Within 20 minutes of quitting, your blood pressure, pulse rate, and the temperature of your hands and feet all return to normal.
• Within 12 hours of quitting, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
• 1 to 9 months after quitting, your coughing and shortness of breath decrease.
• 1 year after quitting, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
• 5 years after quitting, your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker's.
• 10 years after quitting, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smoker's.
• 15 years after quitting, your risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker's.
