We all know someone who smokes. ย Itโs their choice. ย But itโs a rough one. ย It certainly isnโt gonna help them ski nor snowboard better. ย 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. ย Believe us, smoking will directly lead to you skiing and riding worse and not being able to keep up.
– 20 Minutes After Quitting: ย The heart rate & blood pressure drop back to normal levels
– 12 Hours After Quitting: ย The level of carbon monoxide in the blood drops to normal
– 2 Weeks After Quitting: ย Circulation & Lung Function Improve
– 1-9 Weeks After Quitting: ย Smoker โnormsโ (like constant cough & shortness of breath) become less pronounced. ย The tiny hairs lining the lungs (cilia) work normally again and clean the lungs to reduce risk of infection
– 1 Year After Quitting: ย The risk of getting coronary heart disease is half that of a smokerโs
– 5 Years After Quitting: ย The risk of contracting mouth, throat, esphagus, and bladder cancers is half what it is for smokers. ย Risk of cervical cancer and stroke fall, too.
– 10 Years After Quitting: ย The risk of dying of lung cancer is half that of a smokerโs. ย Risk of getting pancreatic and larynx cancer drops as well.
– 15 Years After Quitting: ย The risk of heart disease is equivalent to a non-smokers risk
