1. Not thinking about quitting
2. Thinking about quitting but not yet ready
3. Getting ready to quit
4. Quitting
5. Remaining a non smoker
When smokers quit cigarettes, within twenty minutes of smoking that last and final cigarette a series of changes

After 1 week:
The small hair-like structures that clean your lungs (cilia) are starting to work again. Accumulated
phlegm from smoking will loosen and you will start to cough it up and get rid of it
Your body is purged of most nicotine by-products with the family, a new

your bills - imagine that!

Your lungs are working more efficiently
Walking and exercising is easier
Your blood pressure has returned to normal

An extra $400 that you wouldn't have had if you were smoking. The possibilities are increasing as is your

your credit card bill by more than $400.

You may feel less stressed or in a better mood than when you were smoking
Lungs have regained the capacity to clean themselves properly
After 3 months you've saved $1,300. That is enough money to buy yourself a new computer and printer. You
could also have a new home theatre package including DVD and speakers in your lounge room. After 6 months
you'll have saved enough money for a down payment on a new car or a lifetime holiday with the $2,600 you
would have burned up in smoke.
After 1 year:
Your increased risk of premature death from heart attack and coronary heart disease is halved
After a whole year of not smoking you'll have more than $5,000 in your bank account to spend. Imagine all the
possibilities of how you could spend that: new home appliances, a lifetime holiday, $5,000 off your mortgage
payments, having your teeth fixed up or having the money set aside as a buffer.
The pre tax amount you would have worked for is a minimum of $6,800 over the whole year. Imagine what it
would be like to have the option of reducing the hours you work by one day each week and still have the same
amount of money in your wallet at the end of each week…..
After 10 years:
Risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one half that of continuing smokers (provided the disease is not
already present)
Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophageus, bladder, kidney and pancreas degreases
Risk of stroke is substantially reduced
Within 10 years you'll have saved $68,000 of pre tax money and that's calculated at today's prices. As we all
know cigarettes never go down in price do they?
The average smoker's life is 14 years shorter than the life of a non smoker. So by quitting you are literally
adding 14 years onto your life. How much is that worth to you?
After 15 years:
Risk of coronary hard disease is now similar to that of lifetime non smokers
Risk of coronary heart disease and death returns to nearly the level of people who have never smoked

savings. By adding years to your life you'll have much more money to enjoy your life.
