Every Cigarette You Don't Smoke Is Doing You Good

So what happens if you stop smoking today? Let's just say, you'll notice the effects within a matter of minutes.

I wasn't an addicted smoker, but "more-so" a social smoker or habitual smoker.  If I had a drink I wanted one, or if I was outside relaxing I'd smoke one, but I never got to the point where I had a desire to smoke or lose my mind if I didn't have one.  I won't lie, there were times when I would go out clubbing with friends on a weekend and smoke 2 packs in one night, just because I socialized and drank the night away.  Quitting cold turkey was never a problem for me.  I can't remember when was the last time I had a cigarette, but I will say this... I feel so much better not doing it.

The benefits are remarkable!  I found this website that uses a timetable to educate you on the benefits of smoking cessation, check it out here.  Find out what happens after 48 hrs.
