20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure will drop. 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood falls to normal. 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation and lung function improve. 5 years after quitting: Your risk of stroke is the same as if you had never smoked. 10 years after quitting: Your chances of dying from lung cancer are now half of what it would have been had you continued to smoke. Your risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas has also decreased. 15 years after quitting: Your risk of coronary heart disease is the same as if you’d never smoked.

Quitting smoking is no guarantee of being lung cancer free. Both my aunt and my mom got lung cancer many years after quitting. And I know people who never smoked or were around smokers who got it.

Well, you can’t really expect your health to jump back to non-smoker levels overnight if you’ve smoked for many years. Which would you rather have: A 50% chance of dying from a stroke caused by smoking, or a 25% chance? Go with the odds. Heck, they say after 15 or so years your chance of having or dying from a serious complication such as stroke or heart attack are the same as someone who has never smoked. Worth the effort imo.
