  • Within 20 minutes of quitting your heart rate drops,
  • 12 hours after quitting your carbon monoxide levels drop back to normal,
  • 2 weeks to 3 months from quitting your heart attack risk begins to drop and your lung function begins to improve,
  • 1 to 9 months after quitting your coughing and shortness of breath begins to decrease,
  • 1 year after quitting your risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker,
