World No Tobacco day aims to create awareness of the dangers and health risk of smoking tobacco, with an overall aim of stopping use of tobacco worldwide.
This year the focus is on how smoking tobacco links to heart health, with the belief that there is not enough awareness of the dangers to your heart!
So, what do we need to know about heart health and smoking tobacco?
• Tobacco use and second-hand smoke contribute to around 12% of deaths from heart disease. Rigotti (2013)
• Tobacco use is the second leading cause of cardio vascular disease. BHF, 2018
• Smokers are almost twice as likely to have a heart attack compared with people who have never smoked. BHF, 2018
• Your heart must pump harder to supply the body with the oxygen it needs, due to carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke reducing the amount of oxygen in your blood. BHF, 2018
• Your blood is more likely to clot, which increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. BHF, 2018
• Passive smoking can still result in heart disease in non-smokers, which means you could be harming the health of your children, partner and friends. BHF, 2018
