How many times have you motivated yourself to quit smoking? How many of you have actually succeeded in it? Quitting smoking is not easy but if you have really made up your mind, then you should definitely see this infographic for that added motivation. This infographic, created by CVS Health, explains step by step what happens to your body after your last cigarette. Starting from 20 to 30 minutes after your last cigarette, this infograph goes on to describe the impact of turning a non-smoker after 15 years of smoking.
