If I gave up smoking for 1 week,what would happen?Would I notice anything?Would it be worth it?


Answer:
You may become a tad irritable but ultimately, your body would thank you. If you can kick it for a week, why not quit forever. You'd save yourself a fortune.
You would notice that you had more money in your pocket.
if you're only quitting for a week you're torturing yourself for nothing.
In one week?? Hmm, your taste and smell would haved improved a bit(even more over time).Your mouth wouldn't taste like a ashtray anymore. To you or anybody you kiss,lol.
Yes it's worth it because you may give up all together.The patterns I notice are:
2 days in craving at it's worst;
3-4 days get really chesty as my body works at getting rid of the cr*p and scillia "grow" back; Playing active sports feels easier after this "stage".
7-10 days I don't need cigarettes any more in an addictive sense (the desire is still there though if offered).
You would notice an improved sence off smell and taste, as smoking kills taste buds and impeeds smelling.
Also, you yourself would stops smelling awful, like an ash-trash. Your clothes, hair and house would start to smell much better.
And, you would save money!
Go for it and give up for good!
You'd be able to smell the extra money that you will save by not smoking.
Pffft,what with all the advertisements and bans on smoking in most places and graphic depictions on what smoking does to your body....what do ya reckon....Is it a good idea to kick the habit.It would only be worth giving up smoking if you convinced yourself to do it.
The lungs start repairing themselves within 24 hours, however when you first stop you probably won't feel that great as your body is withdrawing from a drug. Coughs and cold can occur.Instead of a week, try a month - your taste and smell improves massivelly, you'll sleep better, smell a lot less and hair and skin looks a lot better too, plus your wallet will be far heavierGood Luck x
if you CAN do it for one week the you could do it permanently - go for it - if i could do it for one day then i would never smoke again.
You may or may not notice the following changes to your body. I found this on a website with information about quitting smoking, I'll include the link below
-20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drops.
-12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
-2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases. If you were to quit for longer than one week:
-1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.
-1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's. -5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5 to 15 years after quitting. -10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease. 15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker's. Visible and Immediate Rewards of Quitting
Quitting helps stop the damaging effects of tobacco on your appearance including:
Premature wrinkling of the skin
Bad breath
Stained teeth
Gum disease
Bad smelling clothes and hair
Yellow fingernails
Kicking the tobacco habit offers benefits that you'll notice immediately and some that will develop gradually over time. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life immensely. Food tastes better.
Your sense of smell returns to normal
Ordinary activities no longer leave you out of breath (for example, climbing stairs or light housework)
The prospect of better health is a major reason for quitting, but there are others as well. Smoking is expensive. Anyone who quits smokinh will notice at least a small amount of rdtra xasg on hand. It isn't hard to figure out how much you spend on smoking: multiply how much money you spend on tobacco every day by 365 (days per year). The amount may surprise you. Now multiply that by the number of years you have been using tobacco and that amount will probably astound you. Multiply the cost per year by 10 (for the upcoming 10 years) and ask yourself what you would rather do with that much money.
To give up smoking for a week would be absolutely pointless.If you were intending to give up permanently the first week would see all the nicotine leave your body,the carbon in your lungs much reduced a cough would start to ease and the amount of fluid and phlegm would not be as great.It would be well worth while to continue as your lung function would improve and you would not cough or get out of breath so easily. Your blood pressure would be lower, thereby reducing the risks of heart attack or strokes.Your senses of taste and smell would improve.Your hair and clothes would not smell like a stale dustbin.The benefits increase week by week. After three months you will feel like a different person. You will get urges and pangs of wanting a cigarette, This is only normal. Try to keep occupied and your hands busy as it is in times of boredom and inactivity that the greatest urges will come.So to recap,after one week a certain amount of benefits but with the bulk of them yet to come.If you do not continue it is all a waste of time.Don't forget that you will also be much better off financially too.What will you do with the hundreds of pounds you save?
You will notice that after 10 days that your cravings arent as bad and giving up smoking period is worth your health. The cigarettes that i used to smoke makes my electric bill every month
It would definitely be worth it! And yes, you should feel the benefits. Firstly, your blood pressure and pulse rate should decrease to normal. The oxygen levels in your blood will increase and carbon monoxide levels will decrease in your blood. Your chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke start to decrease. After a few days, you will be able to hold more air in your lungs. Breathing will become easier and you will have more energy. Your blood will also be less likely to clot. Now if I haven't listed enough to persuade you, you should seriously look at the long-term benefits if you quit the habit altogether. Good luck
