After abandonment of cigarettes, changes in all systems of the body begin, all toxic substances, toxins begin to be eliminated gradually and the deficiency of oxygen in the tissues disappears.It will take several years to completely restore the body after prolonged nicotine addiction, but one will feel an improvement in 7-10 days.
In former smokers, blood circulation and pressure gradually normalize, the blood vessels recover.Once you get rid of the pernicious habit, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular, oncological pathologies to avoid premature aging and death.
The respiratory system suffers the most poisonous resins when smoking.What happens to the lungs after getting rid of addiction?The lungs restore their function, increase the life capacity of the lungs.The bronchi are cleaned, the breathing of breathing disappears, the smell improves, the condition of the teeth improves, the unpleasant odor disappears from the mouth.
What happens in a man's body?In addition to the overall improvement in well -being, the reproductive system begins to work better.Nicotine destroys a huge number of sperm or makes them weak, inanimate.Smoking is one of the main factors of male infertility and impotence.
What negative changes occur in the body:
- Immunity is temporarily reduced - former smokers are subject to colds, they often have stomatitis, ulcers in the oral cavity;
- The psycho -emotional state is deteriorating, depression, nightmares, temper, irritability occurs - this is due to the hormone deficiency of dopamine joy that enters the body after each smoked cigarette;

To whom it is easier to give up smoking
Changes in the body after quitting smoking are different in men and women.The reason is not the physiological characteristics, but the poor psychological training and the lack of faith in their own strengths.The greater sex reacts more emotionally to the nicotine refusal, although tobacco addiction is less pronounced than that of the stronger sex.
When conducting cigarette refusal tests between boys and girls, the more severe sex was 80% more than the greater sex.And when we compare the result between men and boys, the first effectiveness was 30%higher.As a result, testing confirmed that to overcome the longing for nicotine is much easier for an adult man than a woman or a young man.
The success of nicotine refusal depends on the following factors:
- You need to completely adjust to the nicotine refusal.The desire must be personal, not the fad of the parents, the spouse/spouse;
- Determine the smoking date of the last cigarette in advance;
- Do not think about cancellation syndrome and do not remember cigarettes;
- The free time spent for smoking can be busy reading literature or a slight physical exertion;
- With increased nervousness, take sedatives;
- Do not drink alcohol and you are not in a smoking company as they improve the longing for a cigarette.
In addition, vitamins and medicines are required that speed up the process of body restoration and toxin.It is recommended to visit the therapist for the choice of medicines.
You can abandon the cigarette with appropriate preparation at the first attempt.It is important to prepare in advance for possible changes in the body.If there is cough suffocation or strong weight gain, a specialist may be necessary.The restoration of the body occurs on average 2-3 years after the quit of smoking.
Scientists in Germany have conducted studies on smoking, involving groups of people from 40 to 60 years.The results show that people aged 60 years, abandoning cigarettes, have a chance to live longer than smokers of their age.The life expectancy of those who have got rid of a bad habit to 45 years have been growing for 5-10 years.
Often smokers, full of enthusiasm and determination, want to quickly abandon cigarettes.If a person smokes for up to 5 years, he can abruptly abandon them without health effects.Smokers with more than 10 years of experience have developed a nicotine dependency, a sharp refusal of which causes physical discomfort.
The main argument of all opponents of a sharp abandonment of cigarettes are serious consequences for the whole body.It is claimed that a person who decides to abruptly refuse, experience such severe suffering and emotional experiences that it is much easier to gradually reduce the number of cigarettes.This is especially true for people who are nicotine dependence on many years.
Negative moments of quitting smoking
As we have already said, the body after throwing smoke begins to restore metabolism.As a result, a former smoker begins to experience a number of unpleasant symptoms.Fortunately, this lasts only the first months and after normalizing the metabolism, everything returns to normal.
Among the negative manifestations:
- Emotional imbalance: tear, irritability, aggressiveness, depressed mood;
- Sleep disorders: insomnia, restless sleep, nightmares;
- exposure to colds due to a temporary reduction in immunity;
- unpleasant taste in the mouth after giving up smoking associated with liver recovery;
- headache, dizziness;
- Weight gain, as in the face of emotional disconnection and has to silence the longing for cigarettes, the former smoker begins to eat more.
Is there a correct method
Which method to choose?There can be no certain answer, each person needs an individual approach.If young people can abruptly give up smoking, the step -by -step scheme is suitable for smokers with experience.
When a smoking woman finds out about pregnancy, rejection of smoking cannot be gradual.The expectant mother must immediately abandon cigarettes.Some believe that the sharp refusal causes stress and throws better gradually in the first trimester, this opinion is wrong.If a pregnant woman smokes, the child may have problems with mild, cardiovascular and immune systems.
Pay attention!If a person is sick and smoking threatens health or life, you must immediately abandon cigarettes.

Positive Points of Smoking Cancel:
-
The skin looks fresh.After getting rid of nicotine addiction, the yellowish tone of the skin disappears.This is due to the fact that during smoking due to constant narrowing of the vessels, the delivery of vitamins and minerals to the skin is impaired.Complete recovery of blood vessels leads to the fact that the skin acquires a healthy and natural appearance.
-
The perception of thin shades of smell and taste.Unfortunately, during the smoking period, one cannot completely feel all the smells around him in everyday life.Over time, the receptors that are responsible for the sense of smell are gradually dumb.When a person refuses smoking, he can again enjoy the pleasant smells and taste of his favorite dishes.
-
Increasing vitality.Getting rid of the hunger of nicotine helps to increase common tone and productivity.Throwing cigarettes, one can play or work with full force without feeling constant discomfort and weakness, which happens due to endless poisoning with tobacco smoke.
As soon as one stops smoking, positive changes occur in the body.On the same day, the cells begin to withdraw harmful substances.Every 50-60 days, cell regeneration is carried out, so after 2 months the body is completely cleaned of nicotine effects.If earlier the body needs nicotine stimulation to produce a hormone of happiness, after abandonment of cigarettes, hormones are produced independently.
You can abandon the consumption of nicotine gradually or abruptly.With a rapid refusal of tobacco, the body is not able to cope with stress independent, as acetylcholine begins to develop gradually and nicotine no longer works.As a result, the following consequences are observed with a sharp abandonment of cigarettes.
| Positive | Negative |

These changes are provoked by a sharp absence of nicotine, which, when entering the body, is also involved in all metabolic processes.In the presence of chronic pathologies, it is required that cigarettes in this form be made under the control of a specialist.With the experience of smoking for more than 10 years, it is recommended that you gradually give up smoking.
