As read in Zoo magazine.

Quite Date:
Blood pressure and pulsa rate fall instantly.

Morning after Quit date:
Carbon monoxide leaves the body and is replaced by oxygen

Two days after quit date:
Lungs discharge mucus, while rsidual carbon dioxide from smoking leaves the body.

Four days after quiting:
With your bronchial tubes no longer under stress, energy levels hit the roof.

Two to 12 weeks after quiting:
Rejoice as your body's circulation improves and you feel healthier.

Six weeks after quiting:
Finally able to run for the bus?

Three - nine months after quiting:
Lung function improves by 10% and smoking related breathing problems becoming a thing of the past.

Five years on:
Half as likely to have a heart attack compared to a smoker.

10 years on:
Half as likely to get lung cancer compared to people who puff, with the chances of having a heart attack falling to the same levels as someone who has never smoked a cigarette in their life.



Each cigarette smoked contains a poisenous metal called cadmium. . the same substance usually found in household batteries!
