WELL-BEING

Hand refusing cigarettes.

No matter what your age is, or how long you’ve smoked, you can reap benefits of quitting today!

 

Here’s what happens in your body after you quit:

•  12 hours later, carbon monoxide in your blood drops to normal levels.

•  2 weeks to 3 months later, your circulation improves and your lungs work better.

•  1 year later, your risk of developing heart disease is slashed in half.

 

You’ll also lower your risk for lung cancer when you quit. And the health benefits continue the longer you stay smoke-free. Visit smokefree.gov to start your quit journey!
