Nope, but it massively reduces your risk of dying!Not necessarily but your body will function a lot better because of the added oxygen it will be getting. Only problem is you will have a tendency to put on weight because of it so will need to watch and adjust accordingly.

Think of it this way:
When you are smoking your body is like a car with a clogged air filter barely getting enough air to chug along. wasting a lot of the fuel (food) you are putting into it giving you poor performance barely able to make it up the hill. Getting passed by little old ladies on bicycles.
Completely winded just walking from office to car:

When you are not smoking your body is like a car with a clean air filter making maximum use of the fuel (food) you are putting into it able to step on the gas and pass that annoying truck (lorrie) going up hill.
Able, with a little work, to run 30 miles with full combat field pack, rifle and two canteens of water.makes you put on weight I can tell you that, since stopping I-ve upt on 3 stone and my blood pressure is dangerously high, unlike when I was smoking.. I suspect my cholesterol is high too. I am thinking about starting smoking again, I was a lot better off before!!No. But stopping smoking is a brilliant idea, go on do it, you wont smell anymoreYES it does.Yes and no - quitting smoking right now comes with a ton of benefits. As far as cholesterol, that is mainly your diet. Look at it - if you are eating high cholesterol foods, your cholesterol is high. Get plenty of fruit and vegis in every meal. You may want to seek help from a doc - there are medicines that can knock that crap down quick. Good luckI-m not sure if it directly lowers your cholesterol, but it will certainly reduce your blood pressure.

The effect of tobacco in your bloodstream increases your heart-rate, whilst constricting the size of your blood vessels (I believe).

The cumulative effect of having a smaller sized passage for the blood to flow through, plus the increased rate at which the blood is trying to get round your system dramatically increases your blood pressure - which isn-t great.

So, really, even if quitting doesn-t do much to your cholesterol, it can-t do you any harm!Not sure about cholesterol..
But it for sure lowers CHD-s and lung diseases.

But drinking green tea...and having Olive oil reduces cholesterol
and you live longer.
