Heart - Smoking and your heart

You are in: Health24 : Medical : Condition centres : Heart > Smoking and your heart

Smoking and heart disease
Smoking is one of the major risk factors for heart disease and stroke and a leading cause of premature death.

Smoking greatest lifestyle factor
Cigarette smoking is probably the most potent single lifestyle factor contributing to risk of coronary artery disease in the populations of Western and developing nations.

Ways to quit smoking
The benefits of smoking cessation are clear: only 20 minutes after a smoker�s last cigarette, blood pressure and heart rate start to return to normal.
