What happens when you quit smoking? Stoptober special

With Stoptober just around the corner, we thought we’d dive into some of the benefits of quitting smoking. And remember, it’s never too later to kick the habit!

• After just 20 minutes, your pulse will start returning to normal.
• After 8 hours, your oxygen levels are recovering and the harmful carbon monoxide in your body has halved.
• After 48 hours, all carbon monoxide has been flushed out. Your lungs are clearing out mucus and sense of smell and taste are already improving.
• After 72 hours, breathing feels easier and you’re feeling more energetic.
• After 2-12 weeks, your blood is pumping to your heart and muscles better again, thanks to an improvement in circulation.
• After 3-9 months, your lungs are working 10% better and you’re coughing and wheezing less than before!
• After the first year, your risk of heart attack has halved compared to a smoker, a huge difference!
• After 10 years, your risk of death from lung cancer has halved as well!
• After 15 years of not smoking, your risk of heart attack is now the same as someone who has never smoked, which is pretty amazing!
