hopefully by seducing beautiful women with how good I smell now!
thanks for all the moral support from everyone, that's pretty cool and it's totally been appreciated.
This has helped me in the past, too, reminding me of the good I was doing for myself:
AFTER THE LAST CIGARETTE
After less than 30 min of smoking your last cigarette:
* - pulse returns to normal*
* - blood pressure drops down to normal*
* - temperature of hands and feet increase to normal*
After 8 hours:
* - blood's oxygen level returns to normal*
* - carbon monoxide level in blood decreases to normal*
After 24 hours:
* - risk of heart attack decreases
After 48 hours:
* - sense of smell and taste increase
* - nerve endings begin regrowth
After 72 hours:
* - breathing becomes easier after bronchial tubes relax
* - lung capacity increases
After 2 weeks to 3 months:
* - lung ability increases by as much as 30%
* - circulation improves
* - walking is easier
After 1 to 9 months:
* - body's energy level increases
* - lungs increase their ability to handle mucus, reduce
* infection and clean themselves
* - sinus congestion, coughing, fatigue, shortness of
* breath decrease
After 5 years:
* - death rate because of lung cancer decreases about 50% for the average, one-pack-a-day smoker
After 10 years:
* - death rate from lung cancer becomes about equal to that
* of non-smokers
* - risks for other cancers (mouth, larynx, pancreas,
* bladder, kidney and esophagus) decrease
* - pre-cancerous cells are replaced
* "Normal" refers to what was an average level for you before smoking your last cigarette, depending on your fitness level and other factors. . . . American Cancer Society information
