Despite being well aware of the detrimental impact smoking has on our health, millions of people still smoke.
Many smokers do so out of habit. Lighting up becomes automatic, triggered by certain routines such as answering the telephone or having a drink.
Smoking cigarettes, even a few a day can have an impact on your heart health. If you smoke, giving up is probably the greatest single step you can take to improve your health. Smoking is the biggest cause of cancer in the world and half of all smokers dies because of their habit. |
The good news is quitting can greatly reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases.
"After just 20 minutes of quitting smoking your pulse rate and blood pressure return to normal. After eight hours your nicotine and carbon monoxide levels are reduced to half and the oxygen levels return to normal. In two to 12 weeks your circulation improves and after five to ten years your risk of heart attack or lung cancer is the same as a person who has never smoked."
