HOW SMOKING IS RELATED TO CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Smoking causes coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the
United States.

Cigarette smoking causes reduced circulation by narrowing the blood


vessels (arteries) & puts smokers at risk of developing peripheral
vascular disease (i.e., obstruction of the large arteries in the arms and
legs that can cause a range of problems from pain to tissue loss or
gangrene)

Smoking causes abdominal aortic aneurysm (i.e., a swelling or weakening


of the main artery of the body—the aorta—where it runs through the
abdomen).
