What is a detailed time line of health improvement for your lungs and overall health after quitting smoking?
seven years Seven years after quitting smoking, the overall mortality curve of a former smoker levels out to be equal to (to have the same slope as) a lifetime non-smoker. This is actually somewhat misleading. Many people will read this statement and think "Seven years after I quit smoking my mortality will be the same as if I never smoked." Absolutely not true. The slopes of the mortality curves are equal after 7 years, but the former smoker is going to have a higher mortality. It would be good to have a picture here. The smokers' curve is going to be higher at every age due to the damage done to the lungs. If you plot mortality on the Y axis and age on the X axis, you will have two parallel lines, with the smoker curve on top, showing a higher mortality at every age.
