T is for time. I saved the below when I first stopped smoking. It has been a gentle reminder added to my list of reasons why I quit.
At 20 minutes after quitting:
blood pressure decreases
pulse rate drops
body temperature of hands and feet increases.
At 8 hours:
carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal
oxygen level in blood increases to normal
At 24 hours:
chance of a heart attack decreases
At 48 hours:
nerve endings start regrowing
ability to smell and taste improve
Between 2 weeks and 3 months:
circulation improves
walking becomes easier
lung function increases
Between 1 to 9 months smoke free:
Starting as early as a month after you quit smoking, and continuing for the next several months, you may notice significant improvements in these areas:
coughing
sinus congestion

shortness of breath
