The chances of getting disease of blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood to your heart, brain and limbs is much higher if you are a smoker. In the long term, diseases due to reduced blood supply of these organs like heart attack and stroke reduces your longevity.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that life expectancy of a male smoker can be reduced by about 13.2 years compared to non smokers. This effect of smoking on reduced longevity is stronger in female smokers with a reduction in longevity by about 14.5 years.<\/p>\n<p>Even second hand smoke, that is being near to a smoker while he or she is smoking, can increase the risk of heart attacks by 25% to 30%. Smokers have a 5 times higher chance to develop severe hypertension. But it is encouraging to note that smoking cessation reduces the risk, producing about 15% reduction in mortality over 14 years.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <em>Journal of American College of Cardiology, May 12 Issue, 2015<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoking and life expectancy It is well known that smoking is a risk factor for heart disease and disease of blood vessels.
