Smoking
Smoking is a major cause of heart and blood vessel disease. Overall, smokers experience a 70 percent greater death rate from heart and blood vessel disease than non-smokers; and heavy smokers (two or more packs per day) have a death rate two to three times greater than non-smokers. Inhaling cigarette smoke produces temporary effects on the heart and blood vessels.

Quit smoking
No cigarettes are considered safe. Many smokers who have switched to low tar and low nicotine cigarettes smoke more or inhale more deeply to make up for the decreased nicotine. By inhaling more deeply, smokers may increase their risk of disease.
Once you quit smoking, the risk of heart and blood vessel disease gradually decreases.
