On the road to being smoke free! Quit several days before New Years.

Here is a cool stop smoking meter, free I used it for a long time, check it out.

After setting up Stop Buddy here is the data

Stopdata for : Ron

You have NOT smoked 34944 cigarettes.
You have extended your life by 384384 minutes.
You saved 8736 dollar.

What happens after you quit.

In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems
will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

So, you have more immediate things to look forward to if you quit now besides just freaking out about not being able to smoke.

I won't date a woman who smokes, ever again. She can eat like a horse and weigh 500 pounds, but no smoking around me.

You know what they say - a woman who will put a cigarette in her mouth will put anything in her mouth

You can date them; just never marry one!
