Benefits Of Quitting Smoking

As soon as you stop smoking your body begins to repair itself, 1. Within 6 hours

Your heart rate slows and your blood pressure decreases. 2. Within a day

Almost all of the nicotine is out of your bloodstream. The level of carbon monoxide in your blood has dropped and oxygen can more easily reach your heart and muscles. Your fingertips become warmer and your hands steadier.

3. Within a week

Your sense of taste and smell may improve. Your lungs’ natural cleaning system is starting to recover, becoming better at removing mucus, tar and dust from your lungs (exercise helps to clear out your lungs). You have higher blood levels of protective antioxidants such as vitamin C.
