Cardiologists at the Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein have found out that giving up smoking has an immediate, positive effect on the heart. An improvement is already noticeable soon after the last cigarette. The risk of a heart attack is decreased after 12 months, which is faster than previously expected. The average blood pressure of the tested smokers came down from 149/88 to 129/81 mmHg, the total cholesterol sank from 6.2 to 5.2. The risk of cancer, however, diminishes after several years. More reason to stop smoking NOW!
