Six ways to reverse the damage from smoking, according to doctors

The article discusses the health risks associated with smoking and provides six methods to mitigate or reverse the damage caused by tobacco use. Smoking is identified as the leading cause of preventable illness and early death globally, increasing the risk of various cancers, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and dementia. Despite a significant decline in cigarette sales since the 1970s, smoking remains responsible for over 20% of cancer deaths in the UK. Experts emphasize that even light or occasional smoking carries substantial health risks, including damage to the heart, blood vessels, and increased cancer risk. Doctors highlight that quitting smoking leads to immediate improvements in health, such as normalized heart rate and oxygen levels, improved lung function, and reduced risk of serious diseases like heart disease and lung cancer. Staying smoke-free permanently is crucial to minimizing long-term health risks, and avoiding even occasional social smoking is advised. The article also mentions 'Heart Saviour' as a resource related to heart health.
