The Smoker's Body
Many people ask: "When I give up smoking, how long will it be before I start to see any effect?"
The simple truth is, that after stopping smoking, your body starts to recover almost immediately.
Clinical research over many years, has proved that when a smoker does give up smoking, their body has a tremendous ability to recover from the damage that smoking has caused to their body over the years.
Obviously, the time it takes to heal will vary from person to person, depending on age, amount smoked, the number of years spent smoking that amount, the total number of years spent smoking etc, but the following will give you an idea of the amount of times involved.

Stop Smoking Testimonials
"Hi Paul, hope you are well,
Just wanted to let you know it's been a week now since my therapy and I haven't smoked. In fact in a way it feels like I've never smoked.
I haven't had any cravings and I have no problem being around other smokers. The therapy has worked so well for me, I feel great and things in my life seem to be coming together nicely.
I have recommended you to 3 of my close friends.
I will continue to recommend you to people who could benefit from your treatment as I am over the moon with results I have seen in myself."

... a stop smoking client from Essex
"I was going to get back to you earlier but decided to wait until i had been through everything and still not smoked.
It's been 5 weeks and i still have not smoked, i haven't even had a craving!!
I dont know how you've done it and im sure a lot of it is to do with wanting to give up, i have been on holiday, been to family gatherings and all my family smoke, and even had emotional upset and i cannot believe that through all that i have not had the urge to have a cigarette.
I wanted to say thanks "
A stop smoking client from Bedfordshire
