After 20 minutes, your pulse rate returns to normal. It takes only 48 hours for your body to eliminate all the carbon monoxide and nicotine, and after 72 hours you should begin to breathe easier.

After a year, your risk of heart disease halves compared to someone who is still smoking, after 10 years your risk of lung cancer falls to half of a smoker, and after 15 years your risk of a heart attack falls to that of someone who has never smoked.
