Hello,

I searched the internet for benefits of quitting smoking. Since vaping doesn't contain the chemicals that tobacco cigarettes do, I considering switching to PVs is just about the same as quitting smoking.

So for everyone who has ever wondered, or even those whom are still considering switching over to PVs, take a look at these facts.

At 20 minutes after quitting:
  • blood pressure decreases
  • pulse rate drops
  • body temperature of hands and feet increases
At 8 hours:

  • carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal
  • oxygen level in blood increases to normal
At 24 hours:

  • chance of a heart attack decreases
At 48 hours:

  • nerve endings start regrowing
  • ability to smell and taste is enhanced
The first year after quitting:

At 2 weeks to 3 months:

  • circulation improves
  • walking becomes easier
  • lung function increases
1 to 9 months:

  • coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decreases
1 year:

  • excess risk of coronary heart disease is decreased to half that of a smoker
Long-term Benefits of Quitting

At 5 years:

  • from 5 to 15 years after quitting, stroke risk is reduced to that of people who have never smoked.
At 10 years:

  • risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one-half that of continuing smokers
  • risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases
  • risk of ulcer decreases
At 15 years:

  • risk of coronary heart disease is now similar to that of people who have never smoked
  • risk of death returns to nearly the level of people who have never smoked


These reasons are enough to keep me from ever going back to analogs!!
