Default Re: Alex Quits, Continued.

I have just refound this, I have copied it out and stuck it to the computer.
I hope it helps someone else.

Within 20 minutes - Blood pressure and pulse rate start to return to normal

Within 8 Hours - Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in blood reduce by half. Oxygen levels return to normal.

Within 24 Hours - Carbon monoxide will be eliminated from the body. Lungs start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris. You won't believe the gunge that comes up at first as your body begins to re-grow cilia, the tiny hairs that line your airways and help push up impurities from your lungs - your smoking destroyed these.

Within 48 Hours - There is no nicotine left in the body. Ability to taste and smell is greatly improved

Within 72 Hours - Breathing becomes easier. Bronchial tubes begin to relax and energy levels increase

Within 2-12 weeks - Circulation rapidly improves

Within 3-9 months - Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as lung functions are increased by up to 10%. Personally, my smokers cough actually disappeared after 4-5 days!

Within 5 years - Risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker

Within 10 years - Risk of lung cancer falls to about half that of a smoker. Risk of heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked
