and how can VAPING help you stay SMOKE-FREE ?
Words : Gordon Stribling
Around 14 percent of adults in the UK are unable or unwilling to stop smoking despite the well-known health risks . Tobacco is directly linked to 78,000 deaths each year from a number of severe illnesses including lung cancer and heart disease . Quitting smoking is tough and , for some people , it may feel that stopping is futile as the damage is already done . But you might be surprised at just how quickly your body will start feeling the benefits after you stop smoking .
Two Days :
One of the first things you may consciously notice is the return of your sense of taste and smell . Food will start to taste more vivid as your taste buds are reawakened . Meanwhile , carbon monoxide will be eliminated and your lungs will begin to clear of mucus .
One Day :
Your pulse rate will return to normal within just 20 minutes , according to NHS Smokefree . After 8 hours , oxygen levels will start to recover as carbon monoxide levels plummet .
1-3 Months :
Your lungs will begin to heal , improving their capacity by up to 10 percent and further reducing coughing and shortness of breath . Your circulation will also have improved considerably by now .
Three Days :
By this point , you may start to find that your breathing improves and your energy levels increase . Your nicotine levels will also be depleted , which can lead to nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as moodiness and irritability . This is why many people prefer to stop smoking with the aid of a vape . E-cigarettes allow you to gradually reduce your nicotine intake over time .
