The present findings are the first demonstration that only two weeks of smoking cessation can ameliorate the enhanced platelet aggregability and intraplatelet redox imbalance in long-term smokers, possibly by decreasing oxidative stress. Our findings may strengthen the motivation for smokers to quit smoking.
