• Within 20 minutes your body begins to recover. Your heart rate drops, circulation improves, and oxygen levels increase.
• For the weeks and months ahead - You’ll breathe easier, save money and greatly reduce your risk of serious health conditions.
• After 28 days - Research shows that if you can quit for 28 days, you’re five times more likely to quit for good!
• By this time, a healthier you has arrived! – Withdrawal symptoms have eased, and your sense of taste and smell are sharper.
• Finally, a life without cigarettes - You have proven to yourself that living without cigarettes is possible. Each day beyond this builds stronger, lasting habits.
