Healthy benefits of stop smoking Here in Brazil, the beginning of the new year is usually a time for new years resolutions. On of them, and maybe the most important, is to stop smoking. Medical studies show as earlier you quit smoking, your body begins to repair itself. In just one no-smoking day, almost all the nicotine is out of the bloodstream. After only a week, your taste and smell senses increase a lot and your lungs remove the mucus more easily. Here are at least three healthy benefits for quit smoking: your breathing will improve, you will be sick less often and you will find your favourite phisical activity much easier. I asked for my mother´s opinion and she said me: " I smoked for around twenty years and nowadays when I look back, I truly believe and understand I would not be a smoker today, and I completely feel how good my health is now". The Brazilian Public Health Service had been provided smokers groups to discuss the matter and help each other. They support in how to stop smoking and how to use some products, like the nicotine replacement therapy. Also, another services are available in some places such as pharmacies and chemist-shops. On the other hand, if you can´t stop smoking, try to remember the times you usually have not smoked in the past. What did you do to not smoke? What and how did you feel? What that past experience could help you give up the cigarettes in the future? Actually, you can use (and save up) your money to get something special for you. It´s a proved fact a person who smokes a packet of twenty cigarettes per day will smoke seventy thousands and three hundreds cigarettes per year. This total represents an annual cost of $ 1825.00 (Brazilian currency), that could be the cost of a very good holiday on the beach, for example. Afterwards, it´s very interesting for you make your own list of reasons for quiting. Put it on the refrigerator, beside your bed, near your cell phone or until inside your car. So, you can always remember them at once you think in taking a new cigarette on hand. Opt for more healthy habits and live better, your lungs thank you.
