It is so sad to say that there are a lot of smokers down there who do not even tried to stop and quit smoking. There are some who tried but after 5 months returned to their old habits. I think it is all about self-discipline in order to quit smoking.

Does the thought of quitting smoking conjure up images of cravings and mood swings? There are, however, numerous benefits. Here’s what Dr David Peters, author of “Total Health” has to say:

After 20 minutes your blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal, and circulation improves in the hands and feet.
After eight hours oxygen levels in the blood return to normal and chances of heart attack start to fall.
After 24 hours carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and your lungs start to clear out mucus and other debris.
After 48 hours nicotine is no longer detectable in the body and your ability to taste and smell improves.
After 72 hours bronchial tubes relax and breathing becomes easier. Your energy levels will increase.
After 2 to 12 weeks circulation throughout your body will improve, making physical activity easier.
After 3 to 9 months breathing problems such as coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing decrease, and overall lung function increases by 10% to 15%.
After 5 years the risk of heart attack drops to half that of a smoker.
After 10 years the risk of lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker and the risk of heart attack falls to the same as that of a non-smoker.
