The effects of smoking on the heart are devastating.
* Nicotine raises blood pressure and makes the blood clot more easily.
* Carbon monoxide in the inhaled smoke, robs the blood of oxygen and leads to the development of cholesterol deposits on the artery walls.
* All of these effects add up to an increased risk of heart attack.
* In addition, the poor circulation resulting from cholesterol deposits can cause strokes, loss of circulation in fingers and toes and impotence.
