Your Body Starts Fighting Back the Moment You Quit

  The final cigarette is not only an ending it is the moment your body begins working to recover. Carbon monoxide levels start falling, oxygen delivery improves, and your heart and blood vessels begin moving away from the constant stress caused by smoke. As smoke-free time continues, circulation and lung function can improve while the risks of heart disease, stroke, COPD, and several cancers decline. Years of smoking cannot be erased overnight, but every cigarette you refuse gives your body something it has been waiting for: the opportunity to repair, breathe, and protect you.
