Everybody knows that smoking, in any shape or form, is not good for you. In fact, there are tons of studies that prove how smoking causes cancer, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and many other adverse medical conditions. Every cigarette that you choose to smoke also increases your blood pressure for a number of minutes after you’ve stubbed it out. It also puts pressure on the blood vessels due to plaque formation, as well as causing clots to form in the veins and arteries. By eliminating smoking, you can lessen your risk of heart disease and many other conditions, while improving your overall health.
