You gain health benefits as you quit

- 1st Hour - Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal.

- 1 Day - Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels.

- 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.

Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting
day will peak for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and the lungs functional abilities are starting to increase

-1 Week - The "average" ex-smoker will encounter an "average" of three cue induced crave episodes per day. Although we may not be "average" and although

serious cessation time distortion can make minutes feel like hours, it is unlikely that any single episode will last longer than 3 minutes. Keep a clock handy and time them.

-1 Month - Cessation related anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, impatience, insomnia, restlessness and depression have ended. If still experiencing

any of these symptoms get seen and evaluated by your physician.

-2 Months - Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function is beginning to improve.

-4 Months -Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or 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.

-8 Months - Your bodys overall energy has increased

-1 Year - Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke have dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
