Smoking Contributes to Heart Disease
Smoking is a large contributor to heart disease. It is also the one contributor that is the most preventable. People who smoke run a risk that is two to four times greater than non-smokers of having a heart attack. This includes those who smoke cigarettes, cigars or pipes.
Smokers run a much higher risk of sudden cardiac death than non-smokers. Even if you only smoke one to two cigarettes a day, the risk is still quite high that you may have a stroke or a heart attack.
People who smoke put others at risk, even non-smokers, for developing heart disease. Someone who is often subjected to a smoker's second hand smoke is at a higher risk for developing heart disease.
Smoking is a contributing factor to heart disease. One easy way to eliminate this factor is to stop smoking.

Many people seem to only think of cancer when they consider diseases caused by smoking. They need to realize that smoking is a large factor in heart disease as well. Also Second Hand Smoke likely causes around 50,000 deaths due to heart disease each year in the USA.
