Quitting Is Winning

Estimated Annual Deaths for smoking related causes in the UK

Let's break down the estimated annual deaths in the UK
from smoking-related causes into numerical values for each category.

Lung Cancer

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of cases. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke damage lung cells, leading to mutations and the development of cancer. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk and improve overall lung health.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition that often results from long-term smoking. It leads to breathing difficulties, chronic cough, and reduced lung function. Quitting smoking is the most effective way to prevent and manage COPD, improving overall lung health and quality of life.

Cardiovascular Diseases

Smoking significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, as it damages blood vessels, reduces oxygen supply, and raises blood pressure. The chemicals in tobacco can lead to atherosclerosis, increasing the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. Quitting smoking greatly improves heart health and reduces these risks.

Smoking and Cancer

Smoking is a leading cause of various cancers, including lung, throat, and mouth cancers. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke damage DNA and disrupt normal cell growth, leading to the formation of cancerous tumors. Quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of developing these life-threatening conditions.

Smoking and Respiratory Diseases

Smoking is a major risk factor for various respiratory diseases beyond lung cancer and COPD. It can lead to chronic bronchitis, which causes persistent inflammation and mucus buildup in the airways, and increases the risk of respiratory infections like pneumonia. Additionally, smoking can exacerbate asthma, making symptoms more severe and harder to control.

Smoking-Related Conditions

Aside from the well-known risks of lung cancer and heart disease, smoking can lead to a range of other serious health conditions. These include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which causes breathing difficulties, and peripheral artery disease (PAD), which reduces blood flow to limbs. Smoking can also increase the risk of stroke, cause complications during pregnancy, and lead to a weakened immune system.

What happens when you start to quit smoking?

The sooner you quit smoking, the faster you’ll experience positive changes in your body and overall health. Here’s what happens when you stop smoking for good.

after 20 minutes

Check your pulse rate; it will already start returning to normal.

after 8 hours

Your oxygen levels are recovering, and the harmful carbon monoxide in your blood will have reduced by half.

after 48 hours

All carbon monoxide is flushed out. Your lungs are clearing out mucus, and your senses of taste and smell are improving.

after 72 hours

If you notice that breathing feels easier, it’s because your bronchial tubes have started to relax. Your energy levels will also be increasing.

after 2 to 12 weeks

Circulation improves, lung function starts recovering, and physical stamina increases. Breathing becomes easier as the body clears out toxins.

after 3 to 9 months

Coughing and wheezing reduce significantly as lung function improves. Energy levels rise, and shortness of breath decreases.

after 1 year

The risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by half. Overall lung health improves, and the chance of infections drops.

after 10 years

The risk of lung and other cancers is halved, and stroke and heart disease risks are similar to those of a non-smoker.
