If you hear the statement, “Government Warning: Cigarette smoking is dangerous to


your health”. How does cigarette smoking increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases?

________________________________________________________________
When you breathe in air from the atmosphere, the lungs take in oxygen and
________________________________________________________________
deliver it to the heart, which pumps this oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body
________________________________________________________________
through the blood vessels. But when you breathe in cigarette smoke, the blood that is
________________________________________________________________
distributed to the rest of the body becomes contaminated with the smoke’s chemicals.
________________________________________________________________
These chemicals can damage to your heart and blood vessels, which can lead to
________________________________________________________________
cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to permanently damaging your heart and
________________________________________________________________
blood vessels, cigarette smoke can also cause CVD by changing your blood
________________________________________________________________
chemistry and causing plaque—a waxy substance comprised of cholesterol, scar tissue,
calcium, fat, and other material—to build up in the arteries, the major blood vessels
________________________________________________________________
that carry blood from your heart to your body. This plaque buildup can lead to a
___________________________
disease called atherosclerosis.
