HOW QUICKLY DO THE BENEFITS O STOPPING SMOKING OCCUR ?
•By 12 hours almost all the nicotine has been metabolised
•24 hours later all the blood levels of carbon monoxide have dropped dramatically
meaning your red blood cells can carry more oxygen to your heart
•By 5days your sense of taste and smell have improved
•After 6 weeks the risk of wound infection has substantially reduced
•At 12 months cilia recover meaning your lungs clear better and your overall lung
function improves
•Following 1 year the risk of coronary disease is halved compared to continuing
smokers
After 5 years the risk of cancers of mouth ,throat,and oesophagus are halved
-Beyond 10years the risk of lung cancer is less than half that of a continuing
smoker
- After 15 years the risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker
-Around 20 years your risk of age related macular degeneration is the same as
that of someone who has never smoked
