REASONS TO QUIT SMOKING.

The benefits of quitting tobacco are almost immediate. After just 20 minutes of quitting smoking, your heart rate drops. Within 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. Within 2–12 weeks, your circulation improves and lung function increases. Within 1–9 months, coughing and shortness of breath decrease. Within 5–15 years, your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker. Within 10 years, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smoker. Within 15 years, your risk of heart disease is that of a non-smoker. If that’s not enough here are a few more reasons!

1. Greater risk of getting Covid /flu

2. Smell of stale smoke on everything, clothes, skin, hair, decorations etc .

3. Causes heart problems, narrows arteries
