Stop Smoking
Recovery Timetable
Your body's ability to mend its beauty to behold!
• 20 minutes Your blood pressure, pulse rate, and the temperature of your hands and feet will all return to normal.
• 8 hours Your blood oxygen level will have increased to normal and carbon monoxide levels will have dropped to normal.
• 24 hours Your risk of a heart attack will have decreased by 50%.
• 48 hours Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal.
• 72 hours Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites will now have passed from your body via your urine. You can also expect the symptoms of chemical withdrawal to have peaked in intensity. Your bronchial tubes are beginning to relax thus making it easier to breathe. Your lung capacity has also started to increase.
• 10 days to 2 weeks Your brain and body have now physically adjusted to again functioning without nicotine and the more than 3,500 chemical particles and 500 gases present in each and every puff.
• 3 weeks to 3 months Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. Your overall lung function has improved up to thirty percent.
• 1 to 9 months Any sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath have decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean, and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased.
• 1 year Your excess risk of coronary heart disease has dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
• 5 to 15 years Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker.
• 10 years Your risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half if you were an average smoker (one pack per day). Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat and esophagus is now half that of a smoker's.
• 15 years Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Your risk of lung cancer has decreased by 80 to 90%. Your overall risk of death has returned to near that of a person who has never smoked.
... so long as you stop smoking in time
