It is known that after two days after the last cigarette smoked, positive changes begin to be observed in the smoker's body. Scientists from Japan have compiled an approximate schedule of such changes that lead to the normalization of health. Under the supervision of researchers from Tokyo were 20 active smokers and almost the same number of lovers of tobacco smoke. All subjects decided to say goodbye to smoking before the start of the experiment.

After 24 hours. After 24 hours, there was some deterioration in well-being among the study participants, which was associated with the onset of withdrawal, as well as an irresistible desire to smoke a cigarette. However, despite the difficulties that have arisen, scientists have noticed a rapid decrease in the level of carbon monoxide in the blood of former smokers. In addition, participants who did not suffer from hypertension experienced a decrease in blood pressure, which almost returned to normal.
After 48 hours. The sense of smell is significantly improved, the full ability to feel the taste of food is restored. Long-term smokers experience impaired ability to taste and smell food.
After 1 month. The functions of the lungs are greatly improved, and the ability to resist viral and bacterial infections is enhanced.
After 1.5 months. Cardiac activity improves, its pumping function increases - all tissues of the body begin to be provided with a sufficient amount of blood saturated with oxygen for the reason that the effect of highly toxic tobacco combustion products on the heart muscle has ceased.
A year later. The risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and coronary heart disease is reduced by 50%. Also, in the future, there is a significant reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as the risk of developing cerebral hemorrhage.
And only after 20 years, a former heavy smoker can get the status of a non-smoker, since the risk of developing various diseases only after such an amount of time becomes equal to that of a person who has not smoked a single cigarette in his life.
