About Quitting Smoking

Breath Easier - Live Better - Quit Smoking

You wish to quit smoking, but you have that little evil voice in your ears, that keeps on saying: "You are too addicted" OR "You will gain fat"?

Well, here are the benefits of quitting:

*But first, make up your mind for real.The fear of failing or weight-gaining is just a made-up excuse and cannot be as bad as the consequences that smoking does to your body. You KNOW it.*









1. The First Hour
Your heart-rate normalizes. 


2. The First 2-4 Hours
In the first few hours, your blood circulation starts to improve: you will feel warmth at your fingertips and toes.
This is when the first withdrawal symptomes would show up: craving, hunger, anxiety. Stay strong and keep your will. Eat an apple, or fruit-salad to ease the yearning and go for a short walk, to the local park to beat anxiety.

3. 12 Hours Later
The carbon-monoxide level decreases in
your body, the healthy level of oxygen normalizes.

4. One day after leaving cigarettes, the risk of a heart-attack drops down. 

5. Only 48 hours later, your taste and smell improves to a more normal level. The nerve-endings would start to re-grow.

6. The 3rd Day Watermark
This is the point, where the advantages of quit smoking may seem too little compared to the withdrawal symptomes: headache, nausea and emotional changes.
Tip: Take hot baths, meditate, organize outdoor activities and if you really can't cope with the nicotine-withdrawal, try the e-cigs.
