Physical benefits of stopping smoking

Stopping smoking can significantly improve your health in ways you might not expect. Once you stop smoking, some of the benefits are immediate and some are longer term:

  • After 20 minutes: Pulse rate starts to return to normal.
  • After 8 hours: Oxygen levels are recovering and harmful carbon monoxide in the blood is reduced by half.
  • After 48 hours: The body has flushed out all carbon monoxide, lungs start to clear out mucus and ability to taste and smell is improved.
  • After 72 hours: Bronchial tubes begin to relax, breathing becomes easier and energy levels increase.
