Cardiovascular Effects of Smoking and Smoking Cessation: A 2024 Update
Abstract
Smoking is a significant risk factor for both acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. These diseases contribute to approximately twenty percent of all-cause mortality. Research indicates that quitting smoking can substantially reduce or even reverse the harmful effects associated with smoking on cardiovascular health. Notably, these benefits can be observed in a relatively short period compared to the duration of smoking history. This article aims to provide data to understand the effects of smoking on the cardiovascular system locally as well as its effects as a pandemic globally and hence provide comprehensive strategies in the management of cardiovascular patients for smoking cessation.
