Quit smoking: that's the challenge facing smokers throughout November, as part of the "Smoke-Free Month" campaign. You may not realize it, but the benefits of quitting can be felt sooner than you think. We tell you all about it.

Every year, the month of November is marked by Tobacco-Free Month, a special operation that launches a collective challenge to smokers wishing to quit. Encouraged by Info Tabac Service, this initiative is a positive and supportive way to put an end to this unhealthy habit. And did you know? You can feel the benefits of stopping smoking much sooner than you think!

According to the Info Tabac Service website, a few hours after your last cigarette, your body is better oxygenated because the level of carbon monoxide in your blood drops. After 8 hours, it's halved.
Within a few days, your breathing improves, and your sense of taste and smell gradually returns. A few weeks later, you'll notice that you look better: your skin is more beautiful, you have more energy and you cough less. After a few months, you'll have more breath, and this will be reflected in your sporting performance.

One year after your last cigarette, you're half as likely to suffer a heart attack, and your risk of stroke is the same as that of a person who has never smoked. Finally, after 10 years, your risk of cancer of the mouth, lung and bladder diminishes considerably, and your life expectancy is closer to that of non-smokers.

And that's not all: when youstop smoking, your skin heals better, your teeth turn less yellow, your breath is much better and your nails are no longer yellow and become stronger. Your digestion also improves, with less heartburn. You also perform better in bed, fertility improves and even psychologically, once you've gone through the withdrawal stage you feel more serene, you concentrate and sleep better, your memory is better and you're less stressed.

So if you can make it through a month, why stop there?
