Provider reviewing x-ray with patient

Tobacco and vaping products can harm nearly every organ in the body. They contribute to cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung disease. The good news is your body begins to heal soon after you quit:

  • Heart rate and blood pressure drop within 20 minutes
  • Circulations improve within 2 to 12 weeks
  • Risk of heart attack drops significantly after one year
