1, brain
The chemicals in cigarettes can make your brain feel "comfortable", which is the same as the principle of absorbing the sea. The release of opioid chemicals makes it difficult for you to quit. "Once smoked, cigarettes will continue to affect the brain. Compared with non-smokers, 20%-30% of smokers' brain areas that control emotions and desires will be affected, "some researchers said.
It takes a few days for the body to get rid of nicotine in the blood, and then the nicotine in the brain can be removed, and then the chemical composition in the brain can gradually become normal. If you can overcome your desire at the beginning of quitting smoking, your brain will no longer rely on cigarettes to feel "comfortable".

The lungs renew quickly. After quitting smoking, the lung inflammation is relieved, the lung cilia are no longer paralyzed, and work again. Cilia in the lungs is the cleaning system of the lungs. It can begin to repair itself within a few days after quitting smoking and return to normal function after a few months.
