1 QUITTING SMOKING
2 WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF QUITTING? The benefits of quitting smoking are almost immediate and include easier breathing, increased energy and activity levels and the positive effect this could have on your overall health and quality of life. You will feel the benefits of quitting straightaway as your body repairs itself. Depending on the number of cigarettes you smoke, typical benefits of stopping include: 1 After 12 hours almost all of the nicotine is out of your system. After 24 hours the level of carbon monoxide (CO) in your blood has dropped dramatically. You now have more oxygen in your bloodstream. After 5 days most nicotine by-products have gone. Within days your sense of taste and smell improves. Within a month your blood pressure returns to its normal level and your immune system begins to show signs of recovery. Within 2 months your lungs will no longer be producing extra phlegm caused by smoking. After 12 months your increased risk of dying from heart disease is half that of a continuing smoker. Stopping smoking reduces the incidence and progression of lung disease including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. After 10 years of stopping, your risk of lung cancer is less than half that of a continuing smoker and continues to decline (provided the disease is not already present). After 15 years your risk of heart attack and stroke is almost the same as that of a person who has never smoked. 2 Quitting smoking can be one of the most difficult, yet rewarding, things a person can do. Apart from the health benefits of quitting, there is a considerable financial benefit from not buying cigarettes. A packet a day cigarette smoker can save over $5,000 a year by quitting. HOW CAN I QUIT AND WHERE DO I GO FOR HELP? Smoking is a powerful addiction and it takes most smokers several attempts to quit successfully. Therefore, smokers should persevere even if their initial attempts to quit are unsuccessful. Since February 2011, the Australian Government has provided additional support for smokers to quit, through extended subsidies for nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) and other smoking cessation support medications on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Further extensions to these subsidies, to provide for a broader range of NRT, commenced on 1 January These subsidies help remove cost as a barrier for people who want to take the important step of quitting smoking. There are many services available to help a person to quit smoking. The Quitline ( /13 QUIT) is a good place to start for information, support and advice to help achieve the goal of quitting.
