As soon as a woman quits smoking, her health improves. Stacey A. Kenfield, professor at Harvard Medical School (USA), and colleagues analyzed the results of surveys of 121 women*. According to scientists, those who quit smoking not only improve most of the medical indicators, but also reduce the risk of premature death by 700% (during the first five years), as well as the risk of lung cancer by 13%.
* Surveys were conducted as part of the international Nurses Health Study program from 1976 to 2004, and included women aged 30 to 55 years.
