What happens to your body after you stop smoking?
Answers
SMOKING:
Smoking increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, which includes coronary heart disease and stroke.
If you are a heavy smoker, your body will immediately realize when the chain-smoking cycle is broken. This is because tobacco smoke causes the reactive constriction of blood vessels in the body. When the smoke is removed, the constriction will start to cease, resulting in lower blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature.
After eight hours of living smoke-free, the carbon monoxide levels in your blood will also drop, while the blood oxygen levels will start to normalize (meaning that more oxygen is reaching your cells and tissues). By the end of 24 hours, the nicotine in your bloodstream will have dropped by nearly 95 percent.
