Smoking and Heart Disease
Cigarette smoking is a major cause of heart diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
Some Heart Disease Facts Due to Smoking:
- Tobacco contains more then 4,000 chemicals, many are known to be poisonous.
- Nicotine increases blood pressure, because the carbon monoxide makes the heart beat faster and takes the place of oxygen in the blood.
- Tar in tobacco causes cancer, which can be a fatal disease.
- Smoking for long periods of time will cause artery clogging, which in turn leads to heart attacks from overworking the heart by reducing its oxygen supply. It also makes clots more likely to form in the blood vessels increasing the risk of potentially fatal changes in the heart beat.
- Those who are regular, long-time smokers have a 70% greater risk of death from coronary heart disease than non-smokers.
- 80% of new smokers are children and adolescents who are trying to copy a parent or other hero figure. by Ng Peng Hock  [ 2007-02-16 ] Research also showed that it reduces the likelihood of heart disease and soothes inflammation in the body.
