Is it even worth becoming a non-smoker?

Sometimes my clients ask me : "I have smoked for over half my life, and am worried I’ve done irreparable damage to my body. A t this point, is it even worth quitting?"

 

 Hmmm... Let's see .... After 20 minutes your blood pressure drops to a level close to that before the last cigarette. The temperature of your hands and feet increases to normal.

After 8 hours the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

After 24 hours your chance of a heart attack decreases

Within 3 months your circulation improves and your lung function increases up to 30%

After 1 year the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.

After 5 years stroke risk is reduced to that of someone who has never smoked.

After 10 years the lung-cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker’s. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas decreases.

After 15 years the risk of coronary heart disease is that of someone who has never smoked

Sooo, what do you think? It is worth isn't it?
