| Health Quit Smoking |
Question:
Been smoking for over 30 years and was wondering if there us any reason to quit now?
Answer:
It's never too late to reap the benefits of a smoke-free life, according
to the Australian government's Multicultural Health Communication
Service. Quit now and you'll feel some of the benefits rather quickly:
After 24 hours, most of the carbon monoxide from smoking has left your
body. Your lungs work better and you can do more before running short of
breath.
After two days, your senses of taste and smell should sharpen. Your
breath, hair, fingers and teeth will be cleaner.
Within a month of quitting, your blood pressure should return to its
normal level.
After about three months, your lungs may have regained the capacity to
clean themselves properly.
