Fitness Forever Tips

Why smoking is playing with fire?

When urged to quit smoking, people often say, “well, I don´t have too many other vices”. With a vice like this, you don´t need any others. Smoking alone will do you in. Smoking is the greatest cause of preventable death in our society. It directly accounts for more than 400,000 deaths a year in the United States.

A smoker´s risk of heart attack is more than twice that of a nonsmoker. If a smoker does have a heart attack, he or she is more likely to die-and to die suddenly (within an hour). Because smoking can lead to high blood pressure, a smoker has three times a nonsmoker´s risk of stroke.
