Tobacco smoke has thousands of harmful chemicals that negatively impact your body and those around you. Quitting tobacco is no easy task but the benefits outweigh the discomfort of setting yourself free from tobacco use. Whether you use cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes or any other form of tobacco, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that quitting enhances your quality of life and harbors health benefits no matter your age or how long you’ve been smoking/using tobacco. Below is just a sampling of the ways your body benefits when tobacco use is stopped:
Cardiovascular System
The risk of cardiovascular disease and death related to it is reduced
Leads to rapid improvement in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels
Reduces the risk of coronary heart disease
The risk of disease and death from stroke is reduced
Respiratory System
Reduces the risk of developing COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Respiratory symptoms (i.e. cough, sputum production, wheezing) are decreased
Respiratory infection (i.e. pneumonia, bronchitis) are reduced
Cancer-Related
Quitting smoking/tobacco use reduces the risk of twelve different cancers
Reproductive System
Quitting smoking before pregnancy or early in pregnancy reduces the risk for a small-for-gestational-age baby
Quitting smoking during pregnancy reduces the risk of delivering a low birth weight baby
Quitting smoking early in pregnancy eliminates adverse effects of smoking on fetal growth
