You're on the verge of taking the plunge. Finally ready to lay aside those smokes. Without doubt, you have heard of the many deadly side effects of smoking. There are many and they are real.



Cigarettes Cause Health Concerns



The 1982 Surgeon General's report stated, "Cigarette smoking is the major single cause of Cancer mortality in the United States." Many studies show how cigarette smoking is a major cause of heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks. According to the American Heart Association, 30% of all coronary heart disease deaths in the United States each year are attributable to cigarette smoking. The toll on health is devastating!



Smoking is Expensive



Not only is smoking taking a toll on health, it hits the wallet hard. Smoking is very expensive these days. When I was smoking, I spent around $3,600 and some change a year. Wow! That's a lot of money. If you multiply that by 20 years, that's a really nice chunk of change!



But more than money, it takes off days to your life and adds to your health bills. Illnesses related to smoking cost the nation billions each year. The CDC says the smokers cost the country 96 billion dollars a year directly in healthcare cost.



Get Results in 20 Minutes



Good news though. If you quit right now you can start seeing results within 20 minutes!



ท In 20 minutes, your blood pressure returns to normal.



ท Another 48 hours from now, your chances of having a heart attack have lowered.



ท Your sense of taste and smell will have returned to normal, and nicotine will have left your body yay!



ท In 3 weeks, your circulation will have improved greatly and your chronic cough will have gone.



ท One year after you have quit, your risk of heart attack will have dropped by half



ท In 5 years, your risk of a having a stroke will have returned to that of a non-smoker.



These are just few of the great things that happen if you were to quit right now, there are many more. The best probably is that in 15 years, your risk of heart attack has returned to that of a non-smoker. Don't put it off any longer the time to quit is now!
