Just wanted to remind myself of the benefits of quitting! 20 minutes: Blood pressure and pulse return to normal 8 hours: Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood are halved, oxygen levels in the blood return to normal 24 hours: Carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out the build up of tar 48 hours: There is no nicotine left in the body. Taste and smell are greatly improved 72 hours: Breathing becomes easier, bronchial tubes begin to relax, energy levels increase 2 - 12 weeks: Circulation improves, making walking and running a lot easier 3 - 9 months: Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as the lungs have room for up to 10% more oxygen 1 year: Risk of heart attack is halved 10 years: Risk of lung cancer is halved 10 years: Risk of heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 69 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,738 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $345 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42
