- Nicotine damages the lining of the arteries leading to their narrowing. Narrowed arteries can cause angina, a heart attack or a stroke.
- The carbon monoxide contained in tobacco smoke reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood making the heart to pump harder to supply the body with the oxygen it needs.
- The nicotine in cigarettes stimulates the body to produce adrenaline, which makes your heart beat faster and raises your blood pressure, also making the heart work harder.
