Over 3 million Americans quit smoking every year, and you can do it, too!

It is never too late to stop, and when you do stop, your body begins to repair
itself immediately. There will be many healthy changes, some of which will
continue to improve over several years:

• Within 20 minutes, your heart rate calms down.
• Within 8 hours, there is much more oxygen in your blood, and
  mucus begins to clear out of your lungs, making it easier to breathe.
• Within 48 hours, things smell and taste better.
• Within 3 months, blood circulation improves, and your body
  is better able to fight infection.
• Within 9 months, you have less sinus congestion, wheezing,
  and shortness of breath.
• After 1 year, your risk of dying of a heart attack is cut in half.
• After 5 years, you have much less chance of having a stroke.
• After 10 years, your risk of getting lung cancer is cut in half.
