If you or someone you love has ever said “it’s too late for me to stop smoking – the damage is done”, consider this: within 20 minutes of smoking your last cigarette your body begins to repair itself. There are endless benefits that begin to take hold from the moment that you stop smoking. Often, knowledge of this simple fact provides the motivation necessary for someone to take their first step towards a permanent lifestyle change.
The challenge for most people is Nicotine. Most of us already know that Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain and that most people smoke to help cope with stress, calm down when angry, help relax or as comfort at the end of a long day. There are, however, other ways to cope that can allow you to break the bonds of Nicotine and free your body from the harmful effects of smoking on you and your family and friends.
What some people may not realize is that, when they smoke, thousands of toxic chemicals are being released into their body with every puff. Traveling throughout the blood stream, toxic poisons eventually reach every essential organ of the body – not just the lungs. To clarify this point, there are over 400 toxic chemicals in cigarettes – 60 of which are known to cause cancer. Second and third-hand smoke is just as damaging. Ultimately, if you can smell cigarette smoke in the air, in furniture or clothing, the related toxins are already making their way into your body.
