NHS England – Smoking Stats
“Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death and disability, and inequalities in health, in England. It is associated with almost every indicator of deprivation and marginalisation”
Why should you quit smoking?
Quitting can help you add years to your life. Smokers who quit before the age of 40 reduce their chance of dying early from smoking-related diseases by about 90 percent. You can take control of your health by quitting and staying smoke free. Over time, you’ll greatly lower your risk of death from lung cancer and other diseases such as heart disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and at least 13 other kinds of cancer. When you quit, you’ll also protect your loved ones from dangerous second hand smoke. You’ll set a good example and show your family that a life without cigarettes is possible.
Remind yourself of the rewards you gain from quitting:
- 20 minutes: heart rate, blood pressure drop
- 12 hours: carbon monoxide in the bloodstream drops to normal
- 2 weeks–3 months: circulation, lung function improves; heart attack risk begins to drop
- 1–9 months: cough less, breathe easier
- 1 year: risk of coronary heart disease cut in half
- 2–5 years: risk of cancer of mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder cut in half; stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker
- 10 years: half as likely to die from lung cancer; risk of kidney or pancreatic cancer decreases
- 15 years: risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker
Smoking damages nearly every organ in your body, there is no good reason for smoking. After you quit, your body begins to heal within 20 minutes of your last cigarette. The nicotine leaves your body within three days. As your body starts to repair itself, you may feel worse instead of better. Withdrawal is difficult to manage but it is a sign that your body is healing.
