after quit smoking

How long after you quit smoking will it show up in blood or urine test? I quit smoking for almost 2 yrs and then smoked cigarettes for a couple weeks and now quit again.

for about 3 weeks.

fhu.com Roy Masters demonstrates how easy it can be to permanently stop smoking in one day.

After you quit smoking how long does it take for your lungs to fully clean thmselves?

BTW i don't smoke just asking.

I wrote an essay on this.....

Once a person ceases smoking, the body immediately starts to cleanse itself of the chemicals contained in tobacco smoking. After twenty minutes, a person’s blood pressure and pulse rate will return to normal. This means immediately the risk of a heart attack is reduced.
After eight hours the carbon dioxide levels in the blood are halved resulting in enhanced energy levels.
After twenty four hours all carbon dioxide is eliminated from the body. The lungs start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris that has built up.
After forty eight hours, nicotine is completely eliminated from the body. A person’s sense of taste and smell is also improved.
After seventy two hours, the bronchial tubes relax and energy levels increase.
Between two and twenty one weeks the circulation improves.
Between three to nine months, coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as lung function is improved by 10%.
After one year, the risk of having a heart attack falls to about half of that of a smoker.
After ten years, the risk of lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker.
After fifteen years, the risk of heart attack is the same as someone who has never smoked.

I am 31 years old and after smoking for 17 years, I quit 4 months ago. Since then, I have had a sore throat, horseness, and it is very hard to breathe. I never had a problem with any of this before quitting. When does this end and is it normal?

Enzyme PhytoNutrient (EPN) complex is a patent-pending Enzyme PhytoNutrient from a plant source that provides Enzyme and saccharides necessary for optimal cellular communication. No combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids or herbals can replace the necessary saccharides found in EPN. We believe that EPN will provide total Enzyme Supplementation.
Protein and carbohydrates are chief components of the human body. For all of history, food has provided these building blocks; however, scientists are still learning the functions that specific nutritional food components play in this process. As recently as this century, benefits of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytochemicals were discovered.
Enzyme-PhytoNutrients have been demonstrated to be effective in supporting the immune system. Studies were conducted to determine what the effects of PhytoNutrient dietary supplementation had on a variety of infections.
There is evidence to suggest the PhytoNutrients molecules mediate most of the communication that occurs between the 100 trillion or so cells of the human body. Incomplete or poorly formed PhytoNutrient molecules can result in defective cell messages, which may have implications for immunity. Breast-fed infants are known to have an increased resistance to middle ear infections as well as other childhood illnesses. While human milk contains high concentrations of PhytoNutrients, animal milks vary in the combinations and amounts present. PhytoNutrients have been tested in:
•Alcohol Craving
•Anger Control
•Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
•Autistic Children
•Behavior Modification
•Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigus
•Candida Albicans
•Canker Sores (Aphthous stomatitis)
•Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
•Cold Sores or Fever Blisters (Herpes labialis)
•Coxsackle Viruses
•Decrease the need for Medications
•Depression
•Diabetes Mellitus
•Dyslexia (learning difficulties)
•Enhanced Glutathione Levels
•Fibromyalgia
•Hepatitis C
•Immune Function
•Inflammation
•Inflammatory Diseases of the Heart & Pancreas
•Liver Enzyme Serum Changes
•Lupus
•Menopause
•Myofacial Pain Syndrome
•Oral Mucosal Disease
•Osteo-Arthritis
•Periodontal Disease (tooth loss)
•Positive Outlook
•Protection from Chemically-Initiated Glutathione Depletion
•Respiratory Air Flow in Asthmatics
•Rheumatoid Arthritis
•Tay-Sachs Disease
•Temper
•Tissue Disorders
EPN is created through a unique, fourteen-day process. Because this manufacturing process resembles human digestion, soy seeds are completely assimilated into basic nutrients and natural sweeteners. Through this proprietary process, nutrient enzymes are produced along with a phyto-sweetener resembling human colostrum (found in mother’s breast milk). Therefore, EPN is an all-in-one combination of healthful enzymes and a phyto-sweetener. Due to the fact that the creation process is digestive in nature, there is no residual, unassimilated soy matter remaining.

Also look at iron on the same page. Wait until you reach 6 months and everything goes away.

Ok I quit around December.I want to know how long it takes for your body to go back to normal after you quit smoking? Because sometimes I get shortness of breath
I started smoking at 15 I'm 22 now but when I smoke it wasn't everyday it was off & on n I would quit for a while.

Here the over time benefits when you quit smoking :


20 minutes after quitting:
Your heart rate and blood pressure drops.

12 hours after quitting:
The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

2 weeks to 3 months after quitting:
Your circulation improves and your lung function increases.

1 to 9 months after quitting:
Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.

1 year after quitting:
The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.

5 years after quitting:
Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker 5 to 15 years after quitting.

10 years after quitting:
The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease, too.

15 years after quitting:
The risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker's.

I quit smoking about 3 months ago and am finding that I am more out of breath than ever at the gym. After a hard work out, I cough for ages.

I'm happy for you for not smoking! I lost my grandmother to cigarette cancers! Anwho, your body especially your lungs are not in the greatest shape right now but it will in later on! You will better when you stay smoke free and working out regularly! My husband was the same! Now, he's in great shape than he'd ever been and his breathing is back to normal! Remember our body is like a Self Cleaning Oven, it take time to recover but it will be all worth it in the end as long as you don't add insult to injury! Good luck! I don't know you but I can say I'm happy and proud of you!
