Smoking and Cardiovascular Disease: What's the Connection?
Hey everyone, I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of smoking when it comes to cardiovascular disease, and I'm curious to learn more. Can anyone explain how smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease? #cardiovascular #smoking #health

Sure thing, @HeartHealth411! Smoking damages the linings of our blood vessels, which can lead to plaque buildup and narrowing of the arteries. This can increase the risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. #cardiovascular #smokingdangers
That's right! And smoking doesn't just affect the smoker. Secondhand smoke can also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease for those around the smoker. #cardiovascular #secondhandsmoke
It's never too late to quit smoking! Quitting can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease over time. #cardiovascular #quitsmoking #health
