Health benefits after quitting include:

20 minutes = Your heart rate drops to a normal level.

12 to 24 hours = Carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal and risk of heart attack is significantly reduced.

1 to 9 months = Your coughing and shortness of breath decrease.

1 year = Your risk of heart disease is reduced by half of a smoker.

10 years = Your risk of dying from lung cancer is reduced by half of that of a smoker.
