2 to 12 weeks after quitting smoking
From 2 weeks after quitting smoking and over the coming months, you may notice that exercise and other physical activity is easier. This is because, at this stage, your circulation improves, with blood flowing through to your muscles and heart much better. Your immune system should receive a boost too, so your body can fight off colds and flu better. Finally, you may feel up to putting up that shed, painting the hallway or anything else on your to-do list!
3 to 9 months after quitting smoking
The breathing problems you might have experienced when you were smoking should now be improving. That’s because around this point your lung function increases by up to 10%.

Quit Smoking Calculator
Every cigarette you don’t smoke means more money in your pocket. Our smoking calculator gives you a good idea of how much that could be – from one week in to a whole year after you’ve quit for good. The price of one cigarette may not seem much, but it soon adds up – whether you smoke 5, 10, 15, 20 or more a day. And if you’ve been smoking for a few years the costs (and more importantly savings) might surprise you! Check out our handy smoking cost calculator chart to see how much you could save.
How much does smoking cost?
At the time of writing, the average price of 20 king size filter pack of cigarettes in June 2022 costs £12.66. That's 63p per cigarette.
The exact cost will depend on your smoking habits though, such as:
- What you smoke (cigarettes, rolling tobacco, cigars)
- How much you smoke per day/week
- Your favourite brand
- Essential extras (rolling paper, filters and lighters)
Smoking costs have been on the rise for many years now and keep going up. At the start of 2011 the average price of 20 king size filter cigarettes was £6.17 – that’s roughly half what they cost today. Smokers spend more now than they ever have, with no sign of the costs falling at any point in the future. It’s another great incentive to give up right now!
