How it works
Smoking reduces oestrogen levels, impairs calcium absorption, and directly inhibits osteoblast activity. Nicotine and carbon monoxide decrease bone blood supply. Quitting reverses some of these effects progressively.
The benefit of quitting accumulates over years. Short-term benefit includes halting accelerated bone loss. Combine with exercise and adequate calcium/vitamin D for maximum bone benefit after quitting.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
