\n– one day your likelihood of having a heart attack decreases.
\n– two days your senses of smell and taste improve. Nerve endings start to regrow.
\n– two weeks to three months your circulation becomes better and your breathing improves. Walking becomes easier.
\n– one to nine months coughing, sinus congestion, shortness of breath and fatigue decrease. You have more energy.
\n – one year your excess risk of heart disease is now less than half what it was a year ago.<\/b>
\n– five years your risk of cancer of the lung, mouth, throat and esophagus is half that of a pack-a-day smoker.
\n– ten years your risk of dying from lung cancer is similar to that of a nonsmoker.
\n– fifteen years you are no more at risk of heart disease than if you’d never smoked.<\/i>
