Quitting smoking brings immediate and long-term health benefits. Stop smoking benefits include better heart health, reduced cancer risk, and financial savings! Whether you quit with nicotine replacement therapy, or using an E-Cigarette or vape, or even going cold-turkey, there are so many reasons to quit smoking today!

Key Takeaways

  • Quitting smoking leads to immediate health improvements, including better circulation and lung function, enhancing your overall well-being.

  • The long-term benefits of quitting significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including various cancers and heart disease, improving your life expectancy.

  • Evidence suggests that E-Cigarettes are more effective for quitting smoking than nicotine replacement therapy. (1)

Immediate Health Improvements

From the moment you quit smoking, your body starts to heal. Within days, you may notice significant health benefits like improved circulation, better lung function, and an overall sense of well-being. The great thing is that whether you quit with an E-Cigarette, with nicotine replacement products like the nicotine patch or nicotine gum, these benefits help to improve your quality of life!

These early changes not only enhance your immediate well-being but also pave the way for long-term health benefits.

Circulation and Heart Rate

Within a few hours of quitting, circulation and heart rate improve significantly (2). Enhanced blood flow to the heart and muscles reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The risk of heart attack declines sharply soon after quitting, and within a few years, the likelihood of stroke can reach the level of a non-smoker. 

According to Action on Smoking and Health, around 40% of UK smokers wrongly believe that vaping is as harmful or worse than smoking! The fact that quitting with a vape brings the same benefits to the heart and cardiovascular system as quitting any other way shows why health bodies like Public Health England found E-Cigarettes to be at least 95% less harmful than smoking tobacco cigarettes.

Lung Function and Breathing

Improved lung function and breathing are noticeable benefits of quitting. Just days after your last cigarette, breathing becomes easier, physical activities feel less strenuous, and levels of carbon monoxide in your blood drop to those of a non-smoker (3).

Long-Term Health Benefits

SMOKO E Cigarettes

Quitting smoking offers long-term benefits, significantly enhancing life expectancy and reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and smoking related diseases. A recent study found that each cigarette smoked costs 20 minutes of life on average.

Regardless of how long you’ve smoked, quitting now can still provide substantial health benefits.

Reduced Cancer Risks

Quitting smoking lowers your risk of various cancers, not just lung cancer. Within 10 to 15 years, the risk of lung cancer can be halved (4). Additionally, risks of stomach, liver, and esophagus cancers decline, and the risk of cervical cancer drops by about half.

Heart Disease and Stroke

Quitting smoking drastically lowers the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Your risk of heart disease can approach that of someone who has never smoked, and the risk of heart attack also decreases substantially, making it one of the best actions for cardiovascular health.

Mental Health Benefits

Quitting smoking leads to profound mental health benefits. Many experience reduced anxiety and depression, resulting in better overall well-being and increased happiness. Emotional and motivational support from groups and professionals can be crucial during this time.

Improved Mood

An immediate mental health benefit of quitting smoking is an improved mood. Many smokers report a more positive outlook and reduced stress levels after they quit smoking. (5)

Physical activity and mindfulness are effective for managing cravings and boosting mood.

Lowered Anxiety and Depression

Quitting smoking can markedly lower anxiety and depression levels. Research shows that stopping smoking reduces these symptoms, leading to significant mental health improvements.

Many feel more relaxed and less anxious after quitting - mainly after the worst of the withdrawal symptoms have passed, which is around 4 days after smoking the last cigarette.

Protecting Loved Ones

Reduce exposure to second hand smoke to protect your loved ones

Quitting smoking benefits your health and protects loved ones from secondhand smoke. It reduces the risk of heart and respiratory issues for your family, fostering a healthier environment.

Secondhand Smoke Reduction

Stopping smoking reduces the harm of secondhand tobacco smoke and passive smoking, especially for vulnerable groups like babies and children. This leads to better health outcomes for your loved ones.

Babies born to non-smoking mothers are less likely to have low birth weight, and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is significantly lower. (6)

Influence on Children

Parents who quit smoking positively influence their children’s decisions about smoking. By stopping, they set a positive example, reducing the likelihood of their children starting to smoke.

Evidence shows that children whose parents quit smoking are less likely to become smokers themselves.

Financial Savings

Quitting smoking can save you money

Quitting smoking offers notable financial benefits. The money saved can be used for other important needs or pleasures.

Financial savings add to the numerous health benefits of quitting smoking by providing more financial security.

Even switching to an E-Cigarette saves a huge amount of money, particularly for heavy smokers. Just think - a single 1ml refill in a 2% (20mg/ml) strength is equivalent to around 30 cigarettes worth of nicotine, with SMOKO that works out to spending around £2 per day (without taking advantage of our weekly deals for bulk discounts).

While smokers may typically vape a little more than they smoked when they first make the switch, one refill at £2 per day versus a pack of 20 cigarettes now costing around £14, the financial savings are indisputable.

Calculating Costs

A savings calculator can show how much money you can save by quitting smoking. By inputting your smoking habits, you can estimate the total spent on cigarettes over time and see the significant financial benefits of quitting.

Reproductive and Pregnancy Benefits

The benefits of quitting smoking for pregnant women

Women can greatly improve their chances of a healthy pregnancy by quitting smoking. Stopping smoking leads to better outcomes for both mother and baby, reducing the likelihood of complications during pregnancy and birth.

Healthy Pregnancy

Quitting smoking before trying to get pregnant maximises benefits for both pregnancy and baby health. Even quitting during pregnancy can be beneficial, reducing the risk of harm to the unborn baby and promoting a healthier pregnancy overall.

For women really struggling to quit, vaping is a better option than smoking while pregnant, and there is evidence that using NRT while pregnant results in better outcomes for babies. Ideally, pregnant women would avoid taking nicotine altogether while pregnant as it can impact the developing brain. 

Managing Withdrawal Symptoms

Managing withdrawal symptoms is key to successfully quitting smoking. Common symptoms include cravings, irritability, anxiety, and trouble concentrating, typically lasting from two to four weeks. Awareness of these symptoms helps in better coping during the quitting process.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) provides controlled nicotine doses to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Methods like nicotine patches and nicotine gum can significantly reduce discomfort and double the chances of quitting successfully.

Combining different NRT forms can yield better results than using a single type.

Coping Strategies

Coping mechanisms can help manage cravings and reduce relapse likelihood. Identifying triggers, developing a management plan, engaging in distractions, and connecting with non-smoking friends can significantly aid in resisting the urge to smoke.

Support and Resources

Support and resources play a crucial role in quitting smoking. Many smokers seek assistance, and access to various human services can greatly aid in the quitting journey.

Local Stop Smoking Services, community pharmacies, and online resources offer essential guidance and encouragement.

Professional Help

Healthcare providers can significantly increase your chances of quitting smoking successfully. They offer tailored plans and medications, boosting your chances of success.

Accessing local Stop Smoking Services can triple the likelihood of success, so it is well worth doing to ensure a successful quit attempt. (7)

Community Support

Community support offers encouragement and motivation from those who understand the challenges of quitting smoking. Local support groups, hotlines, online forums and the NHS Quit Smoking app can make the process easier and more manageable.

Summary

In summary, quitting smoking offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond your health. From immediate physical improvements to long-term gains in life expectancy, mental health enhancements, protection for loved ones, and significant financial savings, the reasons to quit are compelling.

This is where E-Cigarettes can be a big help - not only does evidence indicate they are more effective for quitting smoking than nicotine replacement products, the habitual aspects of the smoking habit are addressed; like the hand-to-mouth action, the pleasure of inhaling, and delivering nicotine to the body to eliminate 95% of the harm that smokers face while avoiding the withdrawal symptoms.

LE TABAGISME EST LA CHOSE LA PLUS DESTRUCTRICE POUR NOTRE SANTÉ

Depuis une cinquantaine d'années, les médecins et les professionnels de la santé affirment que fumer des cigarettes est l'une des pires choses pour la santé.

Chaque année, plus de 80 000 personnes meurent prématurément au Royaume-Uni des suites de maladies liées au tabagisme.

Il a été démontré que la cigarette est à l'origine de plus de 14 types de cancer, qu'elle peut augmenter le risque de crise cardiaque et d'accident vasculaire cérébral et qu'elle entraîne des problèmes respiratoires débilitants tels que la BPCO et l'asthme.

LES EFFETS DU TABAGISME SUR LE CORPS

LES MÉDECINS BRITANNIQUES RECOMMANDENT DÉSORMAIS DE PASSER AU VAPOTAGE

LES PRINCIPAUX PROFESSIONNELS DE LA SANTÉ S'ACCORDENT À DIRE QUE LE VAPOTAGE EST 95 % MOINS NOCIF QUE LE TABAGISME

Les principaux groupes médicaux et chercheurs s'accordent tous à dire que les "les e-cigarettes sont 95 % moins nocives que le tabagisme"car elles ne contiennent pas les mêmes substances chimiques nocives que les cigarettes.

Qu'il s'agisse de Public Health England, de Cancer Research UK ou du Royal College of Midwives, tous s'accordent à dire qu'arrêter de fumer ou trouver une alternative plus saine comme le vapotage est une chose que tous les fumeurs adultes devraient faire immédiatement.

Certaines études médicales montrent également que la nicotine peut aider à contrôler l'appétit - le vapotage peut donc aussi vous aider à perdre du poids!

LES MEILLEURES VAPES DU ROYAUME-UNI SONT FABRIQUÉES AU ROYAUME-UNI

Beaucoup de vapes jetables vendues dans les magasins de proximité utilisent des e-liquides et des ingrédients fabriqués en Chine,

Chez SMOKO, nous faisons les choses très différemment ! Tous les jus de vape que nous utilisons dans nos produits de vapotage sont créés à partir d'ingrédients et d'arômes de la plus haute qualité, fabriqués au Royaume-Uni.

LE VAPOTAGE EST-IL PLUS SÛR QUE LE TABAGISME ?

Toutes les recherches récentes suggèrent que le vapotage est beaucoup plus sûr que le fait de fumer des cigarettes traditionnelles. Il y a très peu d'effets secondaires du vapotage, mais vous devez connaître les symptômes d'un vapotage excessif et savoir comment contrôler la quantité de nicotine que vous consommez.

Mais sans les 4 000 produits chimiques, le goudron et la fumée secondaire que l'on trouve dans le tabac traditionnel, le vapotage est de loin un meilleur choix pour une vie plus saine.

SMOKO E Cigarettes

LE VAPOTAGE EST JUSQU'À 80 % MOINS CHER QUE LE TABAGISME

En cette période de crise financière, fumer des cigarettes devient inabordable pour la plupart des familles. Cependant, il existe une idée fausse selon laquelle la vaporisation est coûteuse.

Or, la vaporisation est jusqu'à 80 % moins chère que le tabagisme. Un fumeur d'un paquet de cigarettes par jour peut s'attendre à économiser £10 par jour par rapport au tabac traditionnel.

Alors, si vous êtes prêt à économiser une fortune, il est temps de passer à la vape ou à l'e-cigarette à un prix abordable dès aujourd'hui !
