It is not a surprise that smoking is bad for health. In fact, according to The American Cancer Society, tobacco use is related to nearly 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes more death than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, homicide, AIDS, and illegal drugs combined. As we all know, tobacco use affects many different systems in the body and can cause various diseases.

The good news is that upon quitting smoking, the body immediately starts seeing health benefits. Not only does it decrease risk for long-term effects and more serious side effects (or death) related to tobacco use, many systems in the body start to see real benefits right away.
