24. Smoking And Your Health; 2 Of 3 Smoking and cancer Cancer is the bestknown risk associated with smoking. Smokerswho die from smoking in their 30s and 40s die mainly from heart attacks. http://www.niquitin.co.uk/uk/html/SN0211000.htm

Smoking and cancer Cancer is the best-known risk associated with smoking. In Western Europe, North America and parts of Asia, it has been estimated that smoking accounts for approximately 30% of all cancer deaths. Smoking and the heart and blood vessels Smoking increases the risk of death caused by arterial disease. The arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. During normal ageing the lining of the arteries becomes less flexible, fatty deposits are laid down in the walls of the artery and the diameter of the artery narrows. This process is known as atherosclerosis. This narrowing reduces the amount of oxygen reaching the rest of the body. This lack of oxygen results in angina (crushing, cramp-like pain in the chest) when the arteries supplying the heart are affected. It can also lead to heart attack and stroke. Smoking can accelerate the process of atherosclerosis and therefore increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Smokers who die from smoking in their 30s and 40s die mainly from heart attacks. Risk of death from heart attacks in this age group of smokers is five times higher than that of non-smokers. It is estimated that tobacco is responsible for up to 80% of all heart attack deaths in smokers under 50 years of age. Although death from stroke is less common than death from heart attack, risk is increased in people who smoke. In the USA, death from stroke and other diseases involving the blood vessels in the brain is increased in people aged 35–64 years who smoke.

Women who smoke and also take oral contraceptives ("the pill") are at high risk of stroke. Take Action Now! Quit smoking and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke - you will immediately reduce your risk of heart attack. If you are ready to quit, set a "Quit Date" now and write it down somewhere so you can see the date approaching. Get support from others when you decide to quit - tell someone; join a support group.
