Ignorance is no excuse to suffer from heart disease associated with smoking. For years doctors have tried to preach the dangers of smoking to the public, making the dangers widely known. Some people still choose to not take these warnings seriously. You may think it will never happen to you but is it really worth the risk?
At least 60 of the thousands of chemicals in a cigarette are toxic. These toxins invade your blood stream accelerating the speed in which your arteries can harden, leaving you susceptible to coronary heart disease, severely increasing your chances of suffering from a heart attack, heart failure, and even sudden death.
Some people still believe if they smoke less than the 'normal amount' it isn't going to happen to them, however this isn't necessarily true. Your body doesn't care how much you have smoked; all it knows is that you keep putting these toxins in your bloodstream. You are dodging a speeding train each time you light a cigarette, each time you step on the tracks you have the chance of falling victim.
There is no time limit on how long it will take your body to harden your arteries caused by smoking; this is why you should never start smoking to begin with. There is a higher risk factor for those who already have heart disease in their family.
Smoking not only increases your chances of heart disease, but also those whom you've smoked around. Each time you light a cigarette because you have that urge that you just have to have one think about all of the innocent people around you that you are exposing to your second hand smoke, they too will eventually suffer the same risks associated with your smoking. Is it really worth lighting up and getting that quick fix to risk the health of everyone you care about?
If the cigarette company listed the thousands of chemicals that were in their cigarettes on each pack the risk of heart disease would surely drop, because people would be repulsed at what they were putting in their mouths. These toxins are what contribute to fatty deposits building up in our arteries. For women who smoke and take certain birth control they have even higher chances of suffering from heart disease than the average person.
Smoking is a choice that an individual makes, but they should keep others in mind when they decide to light that cigarette. If you are unable to quit you should at least not smoke around other people, especially children that don't have a choice. Keep your health in mind as well as everyone else's. Quitting is the only way to ultimately prevent you from suffering from heart disease caused by smoking.
