Once you're into smoking,
you're going to do for the rest of your life. You'll be so addicted to it that quitting is not just hard, but it's impossible. Remember that smoking is dangerous to your health and there's no benefit whatsoever. It just gives you the feeling of relief from stress but it does no good really.
When you stop smoking,
it's for the good but you're body undergoes a series of changes that will take years and years. Your body is already used to smoking so if you stop now, these are the changes you'll experience: In 20 minutes, your heart rate drops. In 12 hours, Carbon Monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. In 2 weeks to 3 months, your heart attack risk begins to drop and your lung function begins to improve. In 1 to 9 months, your coughing and shortness of breath decrease. In 1 year, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's. In 5 years, your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5-15 years after quitting. In 10 years, your lung cancer death rate half that of a smoker's. Your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas decreases. In 15 years, your risk of coronary heart disease is back to that of a nonsmoker.

Even if smoking is already common and part of most people's lifestyle, it's still so much better if you don't. Cigarettes keep people company especially when they're alone thinking things over. But your body suffers and many organs are damaged causing them to function poorly. And it takes years and years for your organs to be back to normal again. So for smoking, don't even try it. And if you've been smoking for years, quit it the soonest possible time. Watch the video below ​to help you quit smoking when it's hard.
