The Benefits of Giving Up Smoking
Hey, we know what it’s like to be a smoker. It’s easy to live your life day by day stubbornly dealing with your sluggish energy like its something that will never change. Breathless as you reach the top of the stairs and limited in stamina as you try to keep up on the sports field, if you stop smoking, these moments can fade to a distant memory.
The benefits that you and your body feel when you quit smoking can re-invigorate and shake you into leading the healthy lifestyle that you deserve. By quitting cigarettes, your lung capacity and blood circulation will improve, which will lead to a dramatic improvement in your overall fitness levels, health, wellbeing and immune system. As well as saving yourself from the harm of the tens of thousands of toxic carcinogens that you subject yourself to every time you smoke, you’ll also be saving your friends and family from the harmful second-hand smoke that they come into contact with.
Day one.
The health improvements within the first day of quitting smoking are already miraculous, just think of how much your body will thank you in just one week of quitting .
12 Hours -The carbon monoxide levels in your blood drop to normal levels
48 Hours -Your sense of taste and smell begin to get better
1 – 2 Weeks -Your blood circulation and lung capacity start improving
2 – 4 Weeks -Your lung capacity becomes greater and any smokers’ cough or shortness of breath that you may have experienced will start to pass. The cilia hairs in your lungs are beginning to function again, as they get to work and start cleaning your lungs.
1 – 9 Months -Your body is getting back to its best and your energy levels are feeling good. With some weekly exercise, you'll be feeling like a superhero in no time at all.

5 Years -The chances of developing cancers that are caused by smoking such as the bladder, mouth, oesophagus and throat have halved, while the risk of cancer of the kidney and cervix have will have also decreased. Additionally, your chances of suffering a stroke will have lessened too.
10 Years -Your lungs have finally reached the stage where the chances of cancer have halved compared to that of a smoker.
15 Years -It seems like an age ago that you stopped smoking, but you have now finally reached the stage where the risk of heart disease you were subject to when you smoked is now just the same as someone who has never smoked.
The unopposed shame you put yourself through every time you popped off for the quick cigarette ‘you needed’, returning accompanied by the pungent smell of tobacco will be no more - no longer will smoking be a stain on your character. When you stop smoking, you not only become a naturally healthier individual, but you’ll feel great and look good too with better-looking skin and no more tar building up on your teeth.
Emboldening your body with confidence safe in the knowledge that you’re posing no harm to yourself or others around you, the benefits that you’ll experience when you stop smoking are boundless.
As well as improving your health, appearance and confidence, you'll also notice that your bank balance begins to improve too. Smoking 20 cigarettes a day might be costing you anywhere in the region of £400 – £500 a month. When you vape, you'll be cutting that cost by two-thirds and when you're finally smoke-free you'll be able to take that annual trip to the Caribbean that you deserve.
