More Good Reasons to Become a Non-Smoker

Becoming a non-smoker is the single most important thing you can do for your health.

What happens after you become a none smoker ?

• 20 Minutes - Your blood pressure, heart rate and circulation improve
• 8 Hours - Nicotine and Carbon Monoxide levels in the blood have halved, whilst oxygen levels return to a healthy level.
• 24 Hours - There is no Nicotine left in the body. Ability to taste and smell are greatly improved.
• 48 Hours - Carbon Monoxide from smoking has been eliminated from your body and the lungs start to clear out the mucus and other smoking debris.
• 72 Hours - Breathing becomes easier as the airway passages in the lungs begin to really relax. The body's natural energy levels increase.
• 2-12 Weeks - Circulation improves, making walking, running and other exercise easier and more enjoyable.
• 3-9 Months - Breathing and respiration operate more healthily, more naturally.
• 1 Year - The risk of heart disease is now beneficially reduced by half.   

From 1986-2001, 1,000 people a day have kicked the habit.

Why Smoking is Bad News ?

• Lung Cancer is one of the worst life-risks for men and women 
• For women, so is breast and cervical cancer. According to the Charity: No Smoking Day, women who smoke 20 cigarettes or more a day have 80% risk of cervical cancer. A Danish study found that women who smoke get breast cancer eight years earlier on average than non-smokers.
• Smoking clogs your lungs and and starves the blood of oxygen (in heavy smokers, up to 15% of the blood may be carrying carbon monoxide, at any given time, instead of oxygen), which is why smokers feel out of breath so easily.
• Nicotine stimulates the brain, raises blood pressure and heart rate - this makes it difficult for smokers to get to sleep and stay asleep.
• Smoking constricts the blood vessels, depriving skin of oxygen, making it thin, dry and more prone to ageing - causing "Smokers Face".
• In the UK, long term exposure to passive smoking has been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer by 20 – 30%
• Smoking dulls your sense of taste and smell, as nicotine coats the taste buds and irritates the nasal lining.
• For the ordinary individual, smoking is the most frequent cause of lung cancer.  Coughing, spitting blood and loss of weight are symptoms of lung cancer. In some cases, there are no symptoms of lung cancer until a shadow is noticed on a routine chest x-ray. 
• A normal healthy lung below left, is nice and red and pink. On the right is lungs from a heavy smoker. Notice how black the lungs are except where the cancerous tumours have formed.
