actually happens<br\/><a style=\"cursor: pointer;\" data-seek=\"13\" class=\"seek\">00:00:13<\/a><br\/>when you stop smoking within the first 20 minutes of quitting your blood pressure and heart rate return to normal<br\/><a style=\"cursor: pointer;\" data-seek=\"19\" class=\"seek\">00:00:19<\/a><br\/>this is because the nicotine in cigarettes released epinephrine and norepinephrine which increased your<br\/><a style=\"cursor: pointer;\" data-seek=\"24\" class=\"seek\">00:00:24<\/a><br\/>heart rate and narrowed blood vessels these effects also caused smokers extremities to feel colder
