Easier breathing
After 1-9 months, the body regains its energy, and the issues with a shortness of breath, coughs, and sinus congestion are reduced. Cilia start regrowing in the lungs and thus cleanse them and lower the risk of infections.
Improved Heart health
After a year, the risk of coronary heart disease in non-smokers is twice lower than that of a smoker’s.
Lower cancer risk
After 5 years, the risk of throat, mouth, and esophageal cancer in non-smokers is half that of smokers’ and the rate of lung cancer death is twice lower than that of average smokers.
Lower risk of lung cancer
After 10 years after one quit smoking, the lung cancer death rate is comparable to a nonsmoker’s, since the precancerous cells are replaced. Moreover, the risk of bladder, kidney, throat, mouth, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer is significantly lower.
Reversal
After 15 years, the risk of heart diseases is the same as in the case of a non-smoker.
