What part does smoking play in causing or increasing the risk of heart disease? Why do so many people in France smoke?
Suggestion:
Smokers have an increased risk of forming blood clots, which in turn causes serious circulation problems. They also have artery clogs, which are not a total blockage but a gradual build up of fat deposits. Both clots and clogs can have a serious effect upon one's health.
The heart has to work harder to overcome these negative effects, which means that it requires more oxygen. This is where carbon monoxide does a number on the oxygen in the blood. So it needs more oxygen, but it has less oxygen. A vicious circle that perpetuates into a nasty situation for the smoker.
