The health benefits of stopping smoking
The health benefits of stopping smoking start almost immediately:
After...
* 20 minutes: Blood pressure and pulse return to normal
* 8 hours: Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood are halved, oxygen levels in the blood return to normal
* 24 hours: Carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out the build up of tar
* 48 hours: There is no nicotine left in the body. Taste and smell are greatly improved
* 72 hours: Breathing becomes easier, bronchial tubes begin to relax, energy levels increase
* 2 - 12 weeks: Circulation improves, making walking and running a lot easier
* 3 - 9 months: Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as the lungs have room for up to 10% more oxygen
* 5 years: Risk of heart attack is halved
* 10 years: Risk of lung cancer is halved
* 10 years: Risk of heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers
* Medium to long-term: Risk of developing lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke and chronic lung disease is reduced - the sooner you stop, the sooner your risk starts going down
* Medium to long-term: Stopping smoking at any age increases your life expectancy, provided that you stop before the onset of serious disease. Even if you have developed a disease, you can benefit from stopping as your body will be under less strain and be able to fight it more easily
* Medium to long-term: A smoker who has suffered from a heart attack can halve the risk of a second heart attack by stopping smoking
* Medium to long-term: Ten years after stopping smoking an ex-smoker's risk of lung cancer is reduced by 30 - 50% compared with that of a continuing smoker
* Medium to long-term: Smokers who stop before the age of 35 have a life expectancy not significantly different from that of a non-smoker
* Medium to long-term: Smokers who stop between 65 and 74 years of age have a better life expectancy beyond 75 than those who continue to smoke
* For life:
o Reduce stress
o Any physical activity is easier
o Don't tire as quickly
o Improve sense of taste and smell
o Improved skin

* 5 minutes: you remember you meant o have a fag 5 minutes ago
* 10 minutes: you remember you remembered 5 minutes ago you meant to have a fag 5 minutes before
* 20 minutes: you shout at your boss
* 21 minutes: you apologise to your boss
* 1 hour: you notice blood coming from under your fingernails
* 6 hours: you notice blood coming from some of your colleagues
* 24 hours: you start to cough up all the crap your lungs want to clear
* 48 hours: there is no nicotine in your system, rendering you susceptible to thoughts of murder
* 3 – 7 days: you hide from the police who are seeking you to ‘assist with their enquiries’ about someone trying to open a fag machine in a pub with a broken Newcastle Brown bottle
* 1 week to 6 weeks: you can’t breathe
* 7 weeks until x-years: you smoke again, have friends, know what to do with your hands when you’re not having a wank, care about everything you used to care about again and are happy

7 needs editing though
7 weeks until x-years: you smoke again, have friends, know what to do with your hands when you’re not having a wank, care about everything you used to care about again and are happy, although you spend shit loads of money on shit that makes you smell, makes you yellow, damages your health and makes you less attractive to none smokers,just because you have fuck all will power and are addicted to a drug.

People dont actually realise how much they spend on them! Probably because they don't want to!

i saw some woman arguing about the smoking in pubs ban on tv.
She was saying "its not fair, they are taking away our choice"
I was thinking "wtf about the choice of the non smokers, weve never had one"
