Smoking Cessation Leads to Happy Hearts?
Smoking raises blood pressure levels and puts stress on the heart. The heart has to work harder to get oxygen to vital organs of smokers. An overworked heart can lead to a heart attack. Smoking also makes your blood sticky which can lead to blood clots and stroke. Quitting smoking reduces blood pressure and heart rate immediately and within 24 hours the risk of a heart attack also decreases. Smoking cessation leads to an unsticking of the blood and reduces the risk of blood clots and stroke.

Is the risk of dying from asbestos exposure greater than the risk of dying from long-term smoking?
The risk of dying from asbestos depends on how intense the asbestos exposure was, how often it occurred, and how long it lasted - and whether you were using any protective measures. The risk of dying from smoking depends on how long you have been smoking, how many cigarettes you smoke per day, and sometimes, how long has it been since you stopped smoking. So for some the risk of asbestos is greater than the risk of smoking and for others the risk of smoking is greater than the risk of asbestos. The important things to know are that: # Both smoking and asbestos exposure are risks that are avoidable, # You can take action to reduce your risks, even if you don't completely avoid the exposures, and # If you both smoke and have an asbestos exposure, your total risk is not simply the sum of the two risks, but the product of them (i.e. the risk of one multiplied by the risk of the other)
