It describes in detail what happens to the body after quitting smoking. If you want to start a life without cigarettes, you definitely need a journal like this.

Why do you need a smoking calendar?

A diary is essential for motivation. Many people know that it is better not to smoke, but they don't understand why they should purposely give up the addiction.The calendar describes in detail the sensations that will accompany the thrower in every phase: emotional, physiological. The changes, the reaction of all systems and organs to quitting cigarettes are clearly listed. The main benefit of a smoking cessation calendar is that it shows which route a person has traveled. This increases the chances of achieving the set goal.

What happens to the body when you stop smoking

The first stage that must be overcome is nicotine withdrawal, due to which it can be very difficult both mentally and physically. Gradually the body gets used to producing this substance on its own. Over time, normal functioning of all systems is restored, especially the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The smoking cessation calendar provides you with detailed information on the changes in the body at every stage. It also describes what emotions accompany a person.
