Six good reasons why you should quit smoking

  1. Nicotine will be out of your system after 12 hours
  2. Your immune system will start to recover and your blood pressure will return to its normal level after just a month
  3. Your lungs will stop producing extra phlegm caused from smoking within two months
  4. Your increased risk from dying of heart disease will be half that of a smoker after 12 months
  5. Your risk of lung cancer is less than half that of a smoker and will continue to decline (provided the disease is not already present) after 10 years
  6. Your risk of heart attack and stroke will be almost the same as that of a person who has never smoked after 15 years.
