🫁 After 12 hours: Carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal
❤️ After 2–12 weeks: Circulation improves and lung function increases
😮‍💨 After 1–9 months: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease
🧠 Long-term: Your risk of heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer drops dramatically

It’s never too late to take control of your health — and we can help you get started.
