The benefits of quitting begin to occur as early as 20 minutes after your last cigarette. Blood pressure and heart rate return to normal standards. Within a day, the risk of heart disease begins to decrease. However, this is the beginning of a process of 15 years, only then does the risk becomes closer to those of a non-smoker.



The first week after the arrest, is the most difficult and that's when most relapses occur, but if a person can stick it out for over a year, the chances of a relapse are reduced to less than 4% and after 10 years is almost negligible.



Many, mainly withdrawal symptoms from nicotine addiction, are prevalent in the first 6-8 weeks; peak in its first week. Nausea, irritability, tingling hands, headaches and sweating are some of those who have encountered. Will test the willingness and determination of those who surround the smoker. Many smokers loved ones are often relieved when an attempted quitter starts puffing again. To stop smoking is a test for the smoker, their family and their friends when take that final plunge. Support is a necessary ingredient when you stop smoking; You should be sought wherever possible.



There are more than 1 billion smokers in the world today. This year will see 5 million of them die. In the United States, of those 5 million people, about 10% of them will be from the United States. It is sad to think that every one of those deaths is preventable.



Smoking bans are implemented slowly in an effort from all over the world, Phillip Morris estimated that smoking bans in workplaces alone caused a major arrest report that previously experienced, has caused as much as 10% to 15% reduction in tobacco consumption. In many developed countries smoking is now banned in public places altogether in an attempt to create a smoke-free environment.



Measures such as the "day without tobacco" were seen around the world and increased awareness of the effects of tobacco use. The late 1990s also saw tobacco companies accept their defeat in several high-profile lawsuits settlement costs and having to accept terms that were unfavorable to their industry. The result of these causes have created mistrust of industry and increased public awareness.



The next steps to quit smoking, from a perspective of the world, must be addressed in low-income countries or the Middle representing 70% of smokers. These countries are the most affected, as they often do not have the same level of awareness-raising campaigns that can reach the public smoking, or the public smoking just doesn't seem to care much since there are no regulations that govern it.



It was well documented that smoking is poison for the smoker and those around them, it is now the responsibility of every smoker be aware of these effects and do what is right for them and the people around them and that's it, quit smoking.
