Both smoking and vaping harm nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and negatively affecting overall health.

8 hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
24 hours after quitting, your chance of a heart attack decreases.
2 to 3 months after quitting, your circulation improves and your lung function increases by up to 30 percent.
1 to 9 months after quitting, your coughing and shortness of breath decrease.
1 year after quitting, your risk of heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.
5 years after quitting, your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker’s.
10 years after quitting, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smoker’s. Your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas also decreases.
15 years after quitting, your risk of heart disease is that of a nonsmoker’s.
