Health Tip: Quitting Smoking Has Immediate Benefits
========================================
(HealthDay News) - Most people know that in the long term, quitting smoking offers enormous health benefits.
But within weeks -- and even hours -- after quitting smoking, your body has already shown health improvements.
The Canadian non-profit organization Tobacco Facts lists some of the immediate health benefits when you quit smoking:
*Within eight hours, the level of carbon monoxide in the body
drops, while oxygen levels rise to normal.
*After two days, taste and smell is enhanced, and the risk of
heart attack decreases.
*Breathing becomes easier within three or four days, because of
increased lung capacity.
*After two weeks, no nicotine is left in the body, and blood flow
is improved.
*Within three months, circulation and lung function are improved,
and physical activity is significantly easier.
*Within nine months, coughing, congestion, fatigue and shortness
of breath are significantly reduced.
