We all know someone who smokes. Itโs their choice. But itโs a rough one. It certainly isnโt gonna help them ski nor snowboard better. The most shocking thing about this graph is that it could take up to 15 years after quitting smoking before youโre health risks are the same as a non-smokerโs.
This one is for the kids. Believe us, smoking will directly lead to you skiing and riding worse and not being able to keep up.
โ 20 Minutes After Quitting: The heart rate & blood pressure drop back to normal levels
โ 12 Hours After Quitting: The level of carbon monoxide in the blood drops to normal
โ 2 Weeks After Quitting: Circulation & Lung Function Improve
โ 1-9 Weeks After Quitting: Smoker โnormsโ (like constant cough & shortness of breath) become less pronounced. The tiny hairs lining the lungs (cilia) work normally again and clean the lungs to reduce risk of infection
โ 1 Year After Quitting: The risk of getting coronary heart disease is half that of a smokerโs
โ 5 Years After Quitting: The risk of contracting mouth, throat, esphagus, and bladder cancers is half what it is for smokers. Risk of cervical cancer and stroke fall, too.
โ 10 Years After Quitting: The risk of dying of lung cancer is half that of a smokerโs. Risk of getting pancreatic and larynx cancer drops as well.
โ 15 Years After Quitting: The risk of heart disease is equivalent to a non-smokers risk
I quit because of my 3 little children, I wanted so show them the other side of not smoking. Today 30years later 2 children do not smoke and the other is a social smoker. Only when he is home, and is around his wife. A nurse?????
