Nicotine, Tobacco, and Their Dangers

Question 5 • [HSHEAC] Health Sem 1 (26-27)

What is a benefit of quitting tobacco products?

Answer
A
After 12 hours, lung function begins to improve.
B
After 10 years, the risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half.
C
After five years, the risk of having a stroke is cut by 25%.
D
Over time, life expectancy is increased by 15 years.

Explanation

Quitting tobacco lowers the risk of lung cancer over time. After about 10 years, the risk of dying from lung cancer is roughly half that of someone who continues smoking, so B is correct. The 12-hour milestone is associated with carbon monoxide levels returning to normal, not lung function beginning to improve.
