There are immediate benefits for quitting smoking. Within eight hours after you quit, the level of dangerous carbon monoxide gas in the blood returns to normal. Also, within the next 24 hours, your chances of having a heart attack begin to decrease dramatically. And just think of the money you'll be saving with the cost of cigarettes going up all the time, this to me is one of the biggest benefits for quitting smoking.

Within the next two to three weeks you can expect to experience even more health benefits for quitting smoking. Your lung function will increase by 30 percent, and within one year your risk of coronary heart disease will have dropped in half. And after 10 years, your chances of dying from lung cancer will have dropped by about one half.

These are just a very few of the benefits, there are alot more than this, believe me. There are just too many to list them all here.

But one thing you can be sure of, that if you decide to quit today, you will definitely be healthier tomorrow. You can say good-bye to yellow fingernails and a wrinkled face, as well as dramatically decreasing your chances of getting cancer and heart disease. The choice is yours. The power and ability to quit is in your hands.
