Quit Smoking Recovery Timeline
Time since your last cigarette mapped to the published recovery milestones — the most motivating math in health.
The timeline's power is that it never stops paying: 20 minutes in, physiology already turns; at one year the cardiac risk is halved; at 15 years it's statistically a never-smoker's heart. Most people need several attempts — each one teaches the next, and combining support with medication roughly triples success rates over willpower alone.
