Smoking cessation is the action leading towards the discontinuation of the consumption of a smoked substance, keenly tobacco, however it may encompass cannabis and other substances as well.

Upon smoking cessation, the body begins to rid itself of naturally foreign substances introduced to the body through smoking. These include substances in the blood such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, and also accumulated particulate matter and tar from the lungs. As a consequence, though the smoker may begin coughing more, cardiovascular efficiency increases.

Many of the effects of smoking cessation can be seen as landmarks, often cited by smoking cessation services, by which a smoker can encourage him or herself to keep going. Some are of a certain nature, such as those of nicotine clearing the bloodstream completely in 48 to 72 hours, and cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine) clearing the bloodstream within 10 to 14 days. Other effects, such as improved circulation, are more variable in nature, and as a result less definite timescales are often cited.

Smoking cessation will almost always lead to a longer and healthier life. Stopping in early adulthood can add up to 10 years of healthy life and stopping in one's sixties can still add three years of healthy life (Doll et al, 2004). Stopping smoking is associated with better mental health and spending less of one's life with diseases of old age.

The immediate effects of smoking cessation include:

• Within 20 minutes blood pressure returns to its normal level
• After 8 hours oxygen levels return to normal
• After 24 hours carbon monoxide levels in the lungs return to those of a non-smoker and the mucus begins to clear
• After 48 hours nicotine leaves the body and tastebuds are improved
• After 72 hours breathing becomes easier
• After 2-12 weeks, circulation improves
• After 5 years, the risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker
• After 10 years, the chance of lung cancer is almost the same as a non-smoker
