Stop smoking

Here’s what happens when you quit for good

After 20 minutes – Check your pulse rate, it will already be starting to return to normal.
After 8 hours – Your oxygen levels are recovering, and the harmful carbon monoxide level in your blood will have reduced by half.
After 48 hours – Your lungs are clearing out mucus and your sense of smell and taste are improving.
After 72 hours – If you notice that breathing feels easier, it’s because the tubes in your lungs have started to relax. Your energy will be also increasing.
After 2 to 12 weeks – Your circulation would have improved, making physical activity easier.
After 3 to 9 months – Any coughs, wheezing or breathing problems will be improving as your lung function increase by up to 10%.
After 1 year – Your risk of heart attack will have halved compared with a smoker’s.
