Smoking causes life-threatening risks by causing different diseases such as lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases, or by making the treatment of these diseases difficult. Especially individuals with heart disease or a family history of heart disease should stay away from smoking and smoking environments.
The main problems caused by smoking are that it causes arteriosclerosis and promotes arteriosclerosis. Just as tobacco products cause arteriosclerosis, disruption of blood flow and increased tendency to clot are among the factors that accelerate the clogging process of the vessels.
The Relationship between Smoking and Cardiovascular Diseases
Patients who smoke have a high risk of developing arteriosclerosis and progression of arteriosclerosis. The probability of life-threatening risks such as sudden vascular occlusion, heart attack and carotid artery occlusion is higher in smokers. Continuing to smoke in patients who have had bypass or stent placement increases the risk of developing diseases related to arteriosclerosis.
Buerger's disease It is a disease that usually occurs due to blockage in the arteries in the legs and arms and can even cause limb loss. Buerger's disease, which is directly related to using tobacco products, reduces the quality of life of patients and can also cause loss of limbs.
The Importance of Quitting Smoking
Smoking should be stopped as quickly and completely as possible, not by reducing or over time. Smoking has a serious share in the death rate due to cardiovascular diseases; Using tobacco products reduces individuals' quality of life.
