It makes sense to quit smoking at any time - and
at any age.
|
| According to a British study every smoker loses an average of 10 years, however, it is never to late to quit: |
| - A person who successfully stops smoking between the age of 25 and 34 has the same life expectancy as a non-smoker. |
| - A 40-year old who quits smoking gains 9 years of life expectancy. |
| - A person who successfully stops smoking between the age of 25 and 34 has the same life expectancy as a non-smoker. |
| However, the positive effects of not smoking start much earlier than that: After 20 minutes, heart beat and blood pressure are reduced to normal levels. After 24 hours the risk of heart attack is slightly reduced. After 2 days, nerve cells start regenerating; the sense of smell and taste improves. After 5 years as a non-smoker, the risk to die of lung cancer has been reduced by almost half. |
