Smoking and Tobacco |
Effects of quitting smoking02/06/2007 |
I`ve seen quick lists of what happens as you quit smoking. (i.e. 20 minutes blood pressure lowers, 48 hrs nicoteen out of system, etc.) I`m always in a rush when I see them.How can I get a list of these. I recently have quit and want to know how my body is bettering itself as I deal with not smoking (self - reward)
The best place to look is the American Cancer Society's website: www.cancer.org
Search for "tobacco", then see the article: "Questions About Smoking, Tobacco, and Health"
Specific sections of the above article answer your questions, and would be good to print out so you can see not only the long-term benefits of quitting, but also the immediate benefits of quitting:
- Can quitting really help a lifelong smoker?
- Visible and Immediate Rewards of Quitting
It is crucial to remaining abstinent from tobacco that you reward yourself for positive behavior changes.
Good for you, and never give up!
