It's been over 48 hours since I've had a cigarette. I started Chantix and I'm positive it's going to work. No side effects either. I was on the following website:
and found out what is happening to my body so far. See below:
- 20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drops.(Effect of Smoking on Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure Amplification, Mahmud, A, Feely, J. 2003. Hypertension:41:183.)
- 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.(US Surgeon General's Report, 1988, p. 202)
I have to wait two weeks to three months before my circulation and lung function improve. But, I can do this.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said: You must do the things you think you cannot do.
So -- my official quit date is February 14, 2008 @ 1:30 p.m.
