When you quit smoking, you are giving your skin the opportunity to heal and flourish in remarkable ways. Smoking has a profound impact on your skin, but as soon as you stop, your body begins to repair itself.
Smoking reduces the production of collagen and elastin, which are the proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm and youthful. Without these essential components, wrinkles and fine lines appear more quickly. By quitting smoking, you allow your skin to restore its elasticity and strength, leading to a smoother and healthier appearance over time. Blood circulation improves shortly after you stop smoking. Smoking restricts blood flow, depriving your skin of oxygen and vital nutrients, which often results in a dull or pale complexion. As circulation improves, your skin receives the nourishment it needs, and you may notice a healthier, more vibrant glow in just a few weeks.Cigarette smoke introduces harmful toxins that damage skin cells and slow the healing process. These toxins contribute to dullness, uneven pigmentation, and skin conditions such as psoriasis and acne. Once you stop smoking, your body begins to eliminate these toxins, allowing your skin to repair itself and regain its natural balance. With time, you may also see a reduction in dark spots and an improvement in overall skin tone. The oxidative stress caused by smoking gradually diminishes, giving your skin a brighter and more even complexion.Every day that you choose not to smoke, your skin makes progress toward restoring its vitality. These visible changes are a reflection of the profound healing taking place throughout your body. Stay committed to your journey, and remember that each step forward brings you closer to a healthier, more radiant version of yourself!
I have a set date of may 202 2025 starting with the Nicorette lozenge seems to help while driving which is good starting point. This week was successful in away that I has 2 cigarettes since may 20, Until Friday got a six pack and got a pack for the weekend... the pack lasted Friday and Saturday instead of just Friday.. Sunday should be fine and look forward to next week success, I find the lozenges take a bit long to dissolve and hard not to drink or swallow when it is dissolving, but I don't have the lozenges as often as I smoking cigarettes from 15 -20 cigarettes to 7-9 Nicorette lozenges...
I’m going to quit staring tomorrow morning. I smoke 2 packs a day and have had serious health issues as well as grieving for my son I lost last February. I already suffer from anxiety and depression and am really scared to start this process but I know I need to now. Waiting for a good day to quit will never happen and I know this. There are always reasons of excuses for putting it off. I am done and I just need to do it.
It will be 29 days next Monday and I surely see a major difference in my breathing and hardly no coughing at all. Still not using patches or anything else...best decision I ever made. God is good! HE has releaved me of this addiction...i am covinced. Keep it up every one it is so worthed for many reasons.
Hi everyone,
How’s your week going so far? Whether you're on day 3, day 30, or beyond, every step counts and every smoke-free day is a victory.
Mid-week can sometimes feel a bit tougher: the stress builds up, the fatigue kicks in, and old habits might try to creep back in. But remember why you started this journey. You are stronger than the passing urge.
Tip of the day: Take 3 deep breaths, drink a big glass of water, and give yourself a short break away from your screen or phone. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to break a craving.
And you; how are you feeling today? Have you faced any challenges this week? Or maybe a small win to celebrate? Share with us your story could inspire someone else.
We’re in this together. You’re not alone. Keep going, one day at a time.
I quit April 28th, did 21mg patches for 2 wks and they made me very sick, I tried 14mg for 1 day and had palpitations so I decided to do it without medication at all. I am feeling much better but still have some dizziness. I am 83 yrs old, had a severe asthma attack and decided THIS IS IT... I put all of it in God's hands and HE is my strength.... have not smoked at all and pray he delivers me totally from this terrible addiction so I can live a few more years. Have courage, don't give up and prayer helps.
