Risk Factor 1 Smoking
There is no doubt that smoking will
greatly increase your risk of coronary
heart disease. The risk increases the
more you smoke and starts to decrease
again as soon as you stop smoking.
So it is worth stopping, even if you
have smoked a long time. Just "cutting
down" will not reduce your risk.
Nicotine increases the pulse rate
and blood pressure. Carbon monoxide
interferes with the transport of oxygen
in the blood. Atheroma develops faster
in smokers.
For advice on how to stop, key 2.
