When you quit smoking, you stop hurting those around you. The secondhand smoke from your cigarettes can make your family and friends have more colds and asthma attacks. It can also put them at risk for heart and lung diseases, and even lung cancer.

View all of the daily reasons to quit smoking:

1 year after quitting smoking: you reduce your risk for heart disease by 50 percent.

10 years after quitting smoking: your risk for dying from lung cancer is about half that of a continuing smoker's and your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas also decrease.

15 years after quitting smoking: your risk of heart disease is now the same as someone who has never smoked.

2 weeks to 3 months after quitting smoking: you have better circulation and your lung function increases up to 30 percent.

20 minutes after quitting smoking: your blood pressure drops to a level close to that before your last cigarette. The temperature of your hands and feet increases, returning to normal.

24 hours after quitting smoking: your chances of having a heart attack decrease.

5-15 years after quitting smoking: your risk of having a stroke is the same as someone who has never smoked.

8 hours after quitting smoking: the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

When you quit smoking, you help prevent your children from smoking.

If all pregnant women quit smoking, about 4,000 new babies would not die every year.
