Question about stopping smoking? -
its been 8 weeks since i stopped, an hasnt been as hard as i thought, i was a moderate to heavy smoker for 20 years, how much has my body recovered so far, i know it is easier to breath.Congrats and good luck on keeping it up! I-m smoke free for a year this week!-After 20 minutes:
* Your blood pressure falls back towards normal.
* your pulse rate also tends to fall back to normal.
* Your hands and feet tend to warm up to normal.
After 8 hours:
* Carbon-monoxide in your blood stream drops towards normal.
* Oxygen levels increases toward normal in your system.
After 2 days:
* Your heart attack risk starts to decrease.
* Better level of taste and smell for you.
After 3 days:
* Your lung functions get better.
* Breathing is smoother.
* Walking becomes easier for you.
After 2 weeks to 3 months:
* Improved general circulation.
* Up to 30% better lung function.
After 6 months:
* Less coughing.
* More energy.
* Diminished shortness of breath.
* Reduced sinus congestion.
* Fewer infections.
In less than one year:
* Your risk of having an heart attack is cut in half from when you smoked.
After 10 years:
* Your risk of getting lung cancer is now cut in half from what it was when you smoked.
After 15 years:
* Your risk of having an heart attack is now the same as if you never smoked.-To fully recover, you need a year. The little hairs in your throat that filter the air you breath will still need to grow back.
But, After the first few days, your circulation will start to improve, you can notice this by being able to breath a little easier, and maintain a good body temperature. i.e. not getting sweaty as easily or cold as easily. After 8 weeks, the sacs in your lungs should begin returning to normal shape.first off, congrats!! it-s great that you stopped!! - you should keep it up too!! (:
if you smoked for that long - was a heavy smoker, your lungs are still going to be full of tar and covered in black. i used to be a nurses aid - from what i-ve seen, heard, - studied, your lungs will try to heal themselves, but it won-t ever be like you never smoked. it will get a little better. so far, your lungs are probaby look the same as it did when you stopped. but the health - condition of your lungs will improve. to help this, you should exercise. it will pump the blood for your lungs AND your heart. so you get a 2 for 1 deal!!
(=I really don-t know sorry I don-t smoke.
Good luck quitting I hope you get rid of that nasty habit.
You will get a bit more healthier but your lungs will always be black.
Every cigarette takes of an hour or half an hour of your life I heard this in a bodys exibit in NYC. And it doesnt matter how much you recovered so far from smoking. Keep up the good work smoking is bad for you trust me my grandfather died from it, my uncle, my cousin vinnie, my great aunt, and mostly all of my extended family.
They also drank and they smoked.
