A Heart attack provides you a very strong motive for stopping smoking.

Yes. Ex-smokers are much less likely to fall victim to heart attacks than those who continue to smoke.
You stand to save nearly Rs.10,000 a year if you have been smoking 10 to 20 cigarettes a day. If you have been smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day for 30 years, you would have smoked more than 2 lakh cigarettes!

SMOKING AND YOUR HEART

SMOKING AND YOUR HEART

Smoking is one of the main factors which causes heart attacks. Let me elaborate. The coronary arteries provide the heart’s own blood supply and they carry the fuel and oxygen needed for its efficient working. When these arteries become diseased ,especially as a consequence of smoking, their lining becomes thick, their by reducing the flow of blood, especially when the heart has to work harder when its ‘owner’ performs some exercise or gets excited. If there is a large amount of obstruction to blood flow, a part of the heart muscle gets damaged. Such a situation is called ‘Heart attack’.
