There are numerous benefits of quitting smoking. It doesn't matter how long you have been smoking for, how bad your health is. The benefits are major and immediate.
For example, your blood pressure and heart rate return to normal after about 20 minutes. Your blood oxygen levels return to normal after about 8 hours.
One day of not smoking reduces your chances of getting a heart attack. After a year, your lungs work better, breathing becomes easier and circulation improves.
After 15 years, you have the same risks of dying as a person who has never smoked.
Suppose you are a long-term smoker. What happens when you quit? Within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, your blood pressure will drop to normal. After a week your body will be free of nicotine. After one month your coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath will begin to decrease. After five years your risk of dying from lung cancer will have dropped by 50 percent. After 15 years your risk of coronary Heart disease will fall to that of a person who has never smoked at all.
Your food will taste better. Your breath, body, and clothing will smell better. You will no longer have the trouble or the expense of buying tobacco. You will have a feeling of accomplishment. If you have children, your example will reduce the likelihood that they will be smokers. You will likely live longer. Further, you will be acting in harmony with God's will, since The Bible says: "Let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of [the] flesh." (2 Corinthians 7:1) Don't feel that it is too late for you to quit; the sooner you quit, the better. see 3/8/00 Awake on jw.org
