Many of us know that smoking is very bad for our health and can lead to fatal diseases like lung cancer, but how exactly will stopping smoking make your life better? You may be surprised to learn that when you quit smoking, you are doing more than just protecting yourself from illness. First and foremost, studies have shown that people breathe more easily and cough less when they give up smoking because their lung capacity improves by up to 10% within 9 months. In your 20s and 30s, the effect of smoking on your lung capacity may not be noticeable, but remember that lung capacity naturally diminishes with age. And in later years, having maximum lung capacity can mean the difference between being able to enjoy old age and finding difficulty breathing just from walking or climbing the stairs. Stopping smoking also boosts your energy level. This is because within 2 to 12 weeks of stopping smoking, your blood circulation improves. This makes physical activity, including walking and running, much easier. Your immune system will also become stronger, making it easier for you to fight off colds and flu. The increase in oxygen in the body can also reduce tiredness and the likelihood of headaches. Even if a person does not smoke, breathing in smoke that comes from smokers still increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. In children, it doubles the risk of getting chest illnesses, including pneumonia, ear infections, wheezing and asthma. They also have 3 times the risk of getting lung cancer in later life compared with children who live with non-smokers. Therefore, by stopping smoking, you’ll be protecting the health of your non-smoking friends and family, too.
