Understanding How to Quit and Stay in Control
What smoking does to you
Nicotine affects the chemicals in your brain, and after just one puff, you may feel good for a moment or two. It
produces different effects on the body at the same time. It may make you feel relaxed or more alert, but this
doesn't last long.
Impact on Blood and Liver
Toxins are not only inhaled by your lungs but also your blood which circulates these toxins around the body
attempting to oxygenate all your cells
The Liver is the “detox factory” and must deal with all substances that are ingested and inhaled so it becomes
overload and sluggish.

How the body begins to Heal?
Within three months, cilia (the small hairs inside your lungs) have begun to re grow. This improves your lungs'
ability to clean themselves. Lung function may be increased by up to 30 per cent. Within one year, your risk of a
heart attack is reduced by half. Within 10 years your risk of dying from lung cancer is reduced by half. Within 15
years your risk of dying from a heart attack is equal to a person who has never smoked.
Within hours of quitting smoking the nicotine and carbon monoxide in your blood decreases, while the oxygen
level in your blood increases. Within days your sense of smell and taste begin to improve, breathing and
exercising become easier, even your chances of having a heart attack has been reduced. Within one month your
circulation will improve and your blood pressure and pulse rate will decrease.
