Will you regain some time to your life if you quit smoking? -
I heard that you loose about two hours of your life everytime you smoke a pack of cigarettes. So, if you stop smoking will you regain the time you lost? If so please explain why,and if not please explain why. thanks
I smoked for 18 years, and I am official a non smoker. This is what I read while I was quitting
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.
Yes. when u quit you prevent these things...
1) Smoking reduces you body-s ability to affectively use your immune system. Your throat and trachea, for example, has mucus that usually filters bacteria, fungi and other things (look up ciliary escalator) and moves them up to your mouth so you can hoc them up and spit them out.
2) By smoking you are choking air sacs in your lungs so you are not able to get adiquate amounts of oxygen to your blood.
3) you reduce your chances of cancer in lungs and throat/mouth. You don-t have to smoke for 20 yrs to get cancer.
Signs have shown that quitting will help to rebuild some of these things.
Yes studies have proven that if you quit smoking then after 15 years of not taking in any cigarette smoke your lungs would look as healthy as someone who has not smoked before
This only apply-s however if the cigarette smoking has not done permanent damage too your lungs such as cancer
BUt too answer your question plainly, Yes you can return on a healthy path but it will take some time
Probobly not but if you don-t quit you will deff loose time since it can eventually give you unhealthy side effects.
STOP smoking!
Just do it! STOP!
Eat cold turkey when you crave a ciggie
My mom just stopped completely with no regrets or many problems when her friend died of lung cancer from smoking
And no, you can never regain that lost time so why make it worse and add on even more time? Doesnt make sense to me. Stop smoking! You can do it.
basically, if you start when youre 16 and quit around your 30s, your lungs sort of start to re-juvenate themselves. they-ll clean out all the bad crap and become healthy again. you wont lose any years of your life. BUT if you wait to quit longer than like 30, if u did start around 16, your body wont work as well fixing itself. probably wont completely heal.
no you can-t lol
the damage is already done
and no every time you smoke a pack of cigarettes, it does not take 2 hours off your life.
it will make you more likely to die of cancer or somethin but it-s no fact that it will take certain amounts of time off your life.
If you look at it this way then yes you do regain time back. If you continued to smoke you-d be losing more time off your life. But if you stop you regain the time that you would have lost if you continued to smoke. As for the regaining from previous packs I don-t know
your time of death is never certain. some people smoke till they are 80, some die young of cancer. so i-d say the answer lies in strong genes. Basically, smoking causes cancer, and its up to the immune system to fight cancer, So if you-re genetics gave you a strong immune system, you-re good
maybe, unless you get killed in a car wreck, hit by lightning, drown at sea, or shot in a drive by,..... when it-s your time, it-s your time, don-t worry about it, there-s nothing you can do about it, live every day as if it-s your last.....have a nice day
Well if you look at it this way each cigarette you have is bad for you so the more you have the more unhealthy your body is gonna be so youll die sooner than you would if you quit smoking
You can-t undo the damage you have done to yourself, but you will live longer than you would have if you had continued smoking. Which is a good thing.

i don-t believe in that. its bull. how would you know when im gonna die. it could be tommorow. it could be in 90 years. i smoke. just because you smoke doesn-t mean your gonna loose life
The day you stop is the day you save money and gain additional days to live and heal from the devil you picked up years ago.
Lots of time, I quit a year ago, and if I can do it anyone can. It-s a lot like dieting. I think, depending on who ur or how long you-ve been addicted.
as long as you get plenty of vigorous exercise like a brisk walk and NO SMOKING i dont see why not you cant add on to your life... you probably wont get all the missed time back but it-ll help
No you cant because you already caused the damage....
yes you will regain some life.
yes you will...not only time in your life but life in general...
Nah, you-re gonna -die.
nbobecause i don-t smoke
No, I-m sorry.
you-ll prevent yourself from LOSING more time, that-s for sure.
