It’s never too late to improve your health.
Quitting tobacco provides immediate and long-term health benefits. Within 20 minutes of quitting, heart rate begins to normalize. Within weeks, circulation improves and lung function increases.
Even individuals who have used tobacco for years can reduce their risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers by quitting.
Tobacco affects nearly every organ in the body, but the body also has remarkable ability to recover. The sooner you quit, the greater the health benefit.
