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.
