It takes only days for your body to start thanking you for butting out for good, according to new study findings reported on Monday.
Japanese investigators found that 14 days after a group of smokers quit, their blood became significantly less likely to form clots, putting them at a lower risk of heart attack or stroke.
However, Dr. Stavros Konstantinides of the University of Goettingen in Germany, who was not involved in the study, cautioned that the findings do not suggest that it takes only days for smokers' bodies to become as healthy as non-smokers'.
