Cigarette .. How to kill smokers in terms of "do not expect"?

Smoking is one of the leading causes of inevitable death, as it is strongly associated with diseases and damage to the lungs.

However, a recent study revealed that cigarettes can also damage the cardiovascular system, or circulatory system, according to the Medical Daily website.

Researchers at the National University of Australia said smokers were three times more likely to die of heart disease or blood circulation than nonsmokers.

Direct exposure to cigarette smoke could increase the risk of a heart attack, stroke or myocardial infarction by about twice as much, the researchers said.

It is noteworthy that the risk of disease increases in people who smoke 5 cigarettes a day on average.

"We have found that there is no way to escape or hide," said Emily Banks, head of the research team and professor at the National Center for Population Health and Epidemiology. "Smoking causes great harm to everyone."

The study, published in the journal BMC, is the most profound study of the effects of harmful smoking on the cardiovascular system in the world.

The conclusion came after analyzing the health data of more than 190 thousand smokers and non-smokers in Australia, have been followed for more than 7 years, knowing that statistics indicate that there are about 2.7 million smokers in Australia.

In their study, researchers aimed to find out how smoking contributes to 36 different types of heart disease or circulatory system diseases.

After follow-up, the research team recorded a link between smoking and an average of 11,400 coronary heart disease cases referred to hospitals for treatment.

The researchers said as many as 17 Australians die daily from heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases caused by smoking.

"This new evidence is a cause for concern," said John Kelly, chief executive of the National Heart Foundation in Australia, adding that "our battle to eliminate the devastation tobacco has caused to people's lives is not yet over."

Kelly stressed that the government should consider tobacco control a top priority and include it in the country's new prevention strategy.

The study recommended the need to quit smoking, if people want to reverse the risk of cardiovascular disease.

"Quitting smoking at any age provides a number of health benefits," said Sarah White, director of the Stop Smoking Victoria Foundation.

She said the chance to stop smoking for those over the age of 45 years remained, noting that this would reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with cigarettes, by 90 percent.
