.. .......Cigarette smoking is directly linked to 30% of all heart disease deaths in the United States each year. It plays a part in coronary heart disease, and causes damage by decreasing oxygen to the heart. Smoking increases blood pressure and heart rate, both of which are hard on the heart.
Quitting tobacco is the absolute best thing a smoker can do for his or her heart and overall health. The benefits of quitting are immediate as well as long-term for people that smoke and their loved ones. The health changes that a person goes through after quitting are quite remarkable, and are nearly immediate! Here is what a person experiences over a year after they quit smoking: ....• Within the first 20 minutes of quitting, the healing process begins in the body. The poisonous gases and nicotine that were left behind by the cigarettes start to leave the body. Pulse rate goes back to normal.
Most relapses occur within the first three months after quitting. If you’re a smoker who’s having trouble quitting don’t be discouraged if you start smoking again. Remember, most people try several times before they finally quit for good. You CAN quit smoking if you keep on trying. In most cases the chance of achieving long-term success with quitting tobacco increases significantly after years. If you are a smoker, the benefits of quitting will continue to improve your health and quality of life for years to come. It's like a ball rolling downhill. Once you start that ball rolling, you'll be amazed at what you'll be able to do to change your life for the better. Make it happen!
