How will quitting smoking help reduce my risk of heart attack?
The likelihood of having a heart attack drops almost immediately after you put down that last cigarette. Quitting now, no matter what age you are, will greatly improve your odds. Furthermore, in three years time, no matter how long you have smoked, the likelihood of a heart attack falls to nearly the same level as if you had never smoked at all. It is never too late to quit smoking.
