Well done! Keep it up and remember:

After 20 minutes - Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal.

After 8 hours - Remaining nicotine in your bloodstream has fallen to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels, a 93.75% reduction.

After 12 hours - Your blood oxygen level has increased to normal. Carbon monoxide levels have dropped to normal.

After 24 hours - Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels.

After 48 hours - Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. Cessation anger and irritability will have peaked.

After 72 hours - Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and your lung's functional abilities are starting to increase.
