What Happens After You Quit Smoking:

Immediate Rewards

Within 12 hours after you have your last cigarette, your body will begin to heal itself. The levels of carbon monoxide and nicotine in your system will decline rapidly, and your heart and lungs will begin to repair the damage caused by cigarette smoke.

Within a few days you will probably begin to notice some remarkable changes in your body. Your sense of smell and taste may improve. You will breathe easier, and your smoker's hack will begin to disappear, although you may notice that you will continue to cough for a while. And you will be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense, and dependence of cigarette smoking.

Immediate Effects

As your body begins to repair itself, instead of feeling better right away, you may feel worse for a while. It's important to understand that healing is a process–it begins immediately, but it continues over time. These "withdrawal pangs" are really symptoms of the recovery process (see Withdrawal Symptoms and Activities That Might Help).

Immediately after quitting, many ex-smokers experience "symptoms ofrecovery" such as temporary weight gain caused by fluid retention, irregularity, and dry, sore gums or tongue. You may feel edgy, hungry, more tired, and more short-tempered than usual and have trouble sleeping and notice that you are coughing a lot. These symptoms are the result of your body clearing itself of nicotine, a powerful addictive chemical. Most nicotine is gone from the body in 2-3 days.

Long-range Benefits

It is important to understand that the long range after-effects of quitting are only temporary and signal the beginning of a healthier life. Now that you've quit, you've added a number of healthy productive days to each year of your life. Most important, you've greatly improved your chances for a longer life. You have significantly reduced your risk of death from heart disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and several kinds of cancer–not just lung cancer. (Cigarette smoking is responsible every year for approximately 130,000 deaths from cancer, 180,000 deaths from heart disease, and 50,000 deaths from lung disease.)

KNOWING IS NOT AS GOOD AS DOING!
Take one good shortcut or tip with every trip to your Book of Mister-Shortcut

The Book of Mister-Shortcut , striving to be the internet's best natural health website, and best source of good health tips.
the Book of Mister-Shortcut , arguably the most empowering website we're likely to soon see.
PowerGems are what this is about. Powerful gems of life that work consistently for people doing better than you.
Good studies are wonderful. The opportunity to review hundreds of studies covering millions of humans?
That's hard to beat, because it's always best to get information from the horse's mouth...
rather than from the wrong end of the horse.

Here you'll find the greatest shortcuts of all time on a thousand websites created by MisterShortcut

Yes, a thousand websites, with a few hundred to many thousands of files on each, hundred of thousands of pages.
All because someone on this planet believes without reservation that you were born to be in the top ten percent.
The other ninety percent of us are smart enough to understand these words, and not smart enough to use them;
more, to use the underlying principles that pioneers establish when they go through their trial and error.
The Book of Mister-Shortcut is a decoction, a boiling-down to essentials, of how to get what you want.

The better you do, the more comfortable your life becomes, and the more likely you will help others.
That's the ultimate, selfish goal of the : getting more people to help.
Zig Ziglar taught me the only time we should look down on someone: when we reach down...
to offer someone else a hand up. The payback is intense, and as repeated at will.

The Book of Mister-Shortcut is created for each of us to learn more in order to live more and give more.
MisterShortcut encourages and urges you to seek, and find,
the healthiest shortcuts and longevity that consistently work.

The Book of Mister-Shortcut , a sizable part of the world's largest and most empowering Book of Mister-Shortcut ,
is NOT a set of rules. It is a way of thinking, an attitude of approach to health -- natural health.

Ultimately, YOU determine the value of the Book of Mister-Shortcut . Although it contains thousands of unique pages by Mr-Shortcut,
filled with the best information on Health, let's remember that quality longevity is something you have to desire in order to get.

That means NOT relying on any one source of information. ALWAYS seek a second, even a third opinion.
Long-lived people do in fact have commonalities, including moderation, even with "vices" like smoking and drinking.
Living well and living longer does not mean sacrificing those things that bring you comfort and pleasure; not by a long shot.
Living well and long DOES mean approaching your comforts and desires with a more balanced approach than you've used so far.
Good health is augmented by good information. Remember that no doctor or supplement or mineral can cure you.
YOU CAN ONLY CURE OR HEAL YOURSELF. This is a scientific fact of the human body and system,
not a dig or insult against medical practitioners. They can only help you to help yourself.
The more we learn, the stronger, the longer we tend to live.You deserve to live longer.

Embracing the Psychology of Naturality means working WITH your doctor so you can fire your doctor.
All of the web pages within The Book of Mister-Shortcut websites, filled with great health tips,
and all of these "healthiest websites" pertaining to health and longevity,
