Regardless of a smoker's history, quitting smoking is a positive, effective, and win-win situation. Some effects are almost immediate, such as the elimination of nicotine and carbon monoxide. As a result, you will very quickly no longer be at risk of spasms and thrombosis, and you will stop reducing the oxygen level in your blood due to carbon monoxide.

Rapid effects

Regardless of the amount of tobacco consumed and however long one has smoked, some benefits of quitting smoking are felt almost immediately by the ex-smoker:

• 20 minutes After the last cigarette: blood pressure and heart rate, which were altered with each cigarette smoked, are no longer disturbed.
• 8 hours After the last cigarette: the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood decreases by half and the oxygenation of the cells returns to normal.
• 24 hours After the last cigarette: the body no longer contains nicotine.
• 48 hours After the last cigarette: taste and smell improve.
• 72 hours After the last cigarette: breathing becomes easier.
• 2 weeks After the last cigarette: the risk of heart attack began to decrease because blood clotting returned to normal.

  A tobacco-free life can be started at any age. 
  Stop smoking.
