Does anyone here have a copy of that chart of things that happen to your body when you quit smoking?

It was posted here a couple of weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it.

I'm trying to persuade a friend of mine (believe it or not he's a runner too) to quit smoking. We ran a race together yesterday and he hit the wall at about 2.5 miles and couldn't recover. I think that chart just might persuade him. Specifically the part about how his lungs will improve in about 2 weeks if he quits now. We're running another race in two weeks and I want him to do well. I'll be honest, I'm really worried about him and I want him to quit.

1. This one?

Warn him that the first week is going to suck. For a lot of people (Me included) you cough more and get out of breath more easily the first week you don't smoke. Then your breathing improves quickly.

3. Yeah, it's similar to that one.

For some reason I was thinking that the lung capacity and performance increases after two weeks. Thanks for posting this!

2. I'm glad you asked. Mine is under a pile of ashes, butts and burn marks.

5. Try the quitnet.com. Tell him one can quit and not have cravings after a few months. Champix really

works.

6. Here's a link to another chart

I don't know if that is the right one though. I think I remember another one that was more comprehensive.
