“Quitting is so beneficial because cigarettes contain more than 4,800 toxic chemicals, most of which produce harmful effects in the lungs and airways.
When you stop smoking, the lungs begin to heal immediately. Carbon monoxide gradually leaves the bloodstream, which helps to alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath. Smoking also inflames the lining of the airways, but when you quit, you no longer inhale all the toxic substances that irritate the airways, which allows them to begin healing.”
“Quitting smoking can also add as much as 10 years to your life, compared to if you continued to smoke. Quitting while you’re younger can reduce your health risks more (for example, quitting before the age of 40 reduces the risk of dying from smoking-related disease by about 90%), but quitting at any age can give back years of life that would be lost by continuing to smoke.”
