Smokers in Ingersoll are being challenged to butt out. Today is world "No Tobacco" Day, and the Ingersoll Nurse Led Practitioners Clinic is talking about the immediate benefits of quitting smoking. Smoking Cessation Expert, Shannon Hutson. "After 12-hours your blood oxygen level has returned to normal, as well as your carbon monoxide levels. And after 24-hours the anxiety that you will have will already have piqued in intensity, and will start to return to normal after 2-weeks. Hutson says after 48-hours, damaged nerve endings will start to repair, and smokers will start to get back their sense of smell and taste. You can learn more in this week's Oxford Review, as well as participate in a ballot contest for a $25 gift card from the Ingersoll Pharmasave. Above all incentives, Hutson says most smokers simply need to have a reason to quit. "Everybody's reasons are different, so thinking of a really good reason is a good start. Some people quit because they have grandkids and they don't want to smoke around them. Some people quit because they want to save money. Some people quit for health reasons. You just need to pick a reason, and that will be your goal."
