The smoke harms almost every organ in the body from the lungs, liver, heart to the bones and reproductive organs. The effect of smoking on the lungs is well known but not many are aware of the fact that it can also lead to a heart attack. People who smoke are around 2-4 times more likely to suffer from heart disease. Moreover, exposure to secondhand smoke can increase the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke in nonsmokers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does smoking do to your heart?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the 2014 Surgeon General\u2019s Report on Smoking and Health in the CDC, the risk of CVD increases with an increase in the number of cigarettes smoked per day. In fact, people who smoke less than five cigarettes a day are also at a high risk of CVD. Here is how cigarette smoke can affect your heart health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nicotine present in the smoke can impact the heart by:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Reducing the oxygen supply to the organ<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Increasing the blood pressure<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Causing the blood vessels to become swollen and inflamed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Narrowing the blood vessels<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Increasing the tendency for the blood to clot<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Decreasing the tolerance to exercise<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Causing an increase in triglycerides and decrease HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or good cholesterol<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/categories\/-35?utm_source=articletrack&amp;utm_medium=Healthy-Heart\"><strong>Always Trust For Better Heart Care.

The chemicals present in cigarette smoke can put you at risk of various cardiovascular diseases such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Atherosclerosis: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a condition in which the arteries become narrow due to the accumulation of cholesterol and fat, known as plaque, which builds up against the blood vessels. This also decreases the flexibility of the arteries and impacts the blood flow to various parts of the body. Tobacco smoke can\u00a0lead to the formation of plaque and narrow down the blood vessels, thereby increasing the risk of atherosclerosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Coronary artery disease: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This occurs when the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle are narrowed due to the accumulation of plaque or blockage by clots. This is because when you smoke, the chemicals in cigarette cause thickening of the blood and formation of clots in the veins and arteries. This blocks the blood vessels and leads to heart attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stroke: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cigarette smoking can impact the brain as well and increase the risk of stroke. This occurs when the blood flow to the brain is impaired leading to permanent brain damage and loss of brain function. People who smoke and have a history of heart disease are at a high risk of suffering from a stroke as compared to those who have never smoked or have quit smoking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does quitting smoking cut down the risk of CVD?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What many people are unaware of is the fact that smoking is one of the leading preventable causes of cardiovascular diseases and death (mortality). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 50% of CAD associated deaths in India occur before the patient reaches the age of 50 years. The risk increases further in people who smoke. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There other factors that can worsen the effects of smoking on the heart health such as age, gender, use of contraceptives, etc. But the adverse effects of cigarette smoke on the heart can be decreased if you quit smoking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/categories\/-44?utm_source=articletrack&amp;utm_medium=Smoking-Cessation\"><strong>Tobacco Threatens..!!
