Smoking marijuana does increase your heart rate slightly, however it is hardly noticed.

Cigarettes though, increase your heart rate also. Nicotene, which is the active ingredient in cigarettes which you are obviously unaware of, is a stimulant.

Therefore, increasing the ammount of blood pumped along with the pulse rait, together increasing cardiac output.

Answer 2

When you first get intoxicated, your heart-rate goes up approximately 10%-20%. But only if you take in a whole joint for yourself and you're not an usd smoker. The rush in heartrate goes down again within 10-15 minutes marijuana is also a vasoconstrictor, so as your vessels constrict and heartrate goes up, regular use can lead to hypertension and Heart disease

Answer 3

Yes, yes, and yes. Smoking causes harm to all the body not just the heart. Smoking nicotine raises the blood pressure, making it more easily for a blood clots to occur. When carbon monoxide enters the heart, it withholds the blood of oxygen which soon leads to cholesterol deposits within the artery walls. The effects of smoking can lead to an increased heart attack risk and strokes. Take my advice, don't smoke! Why chance it? It's terrible for your health and it also effects the health of those around you (secondhand smoking).
