Facts About Heart Health That May Save Your Life
Reality: Any measure of smoking damages the heart.
Smoking damages pretty much every organ in the body, including the heart, says the Public Heart, Lung and Blood Establishment — how it works, its design, the veins, and the actual blood. Also, vaping ups your gamble as well, says cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, MD, clinical head of Atria New York City, and clinical academic partner of medication at NYU Grossman Institute of Medication. "Vaping is unsafe to the heart, as well as the lungs and cerebrum," she says. "There's a 71% higher gamble of stroke and 59% higher gamble of fostering a coronary episode when you vape."
