Stop smoking now

stop-smoking-now.jpgThis is one of those recommendations that is a no brainer, but a bad habit that can be very difficult for many to break. However, smoking greatly increases your risk for heart disease, says the CDC, and is the leading cause of preventable death.

While E-cigarettes are becoming more popular by the day, that doesn't mean they don't come without risk. "They don't contain the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, and they can help some people wean themselves off of smoking," Lloyd-Jones says. "But they still do contain nicotine, so your goal should be to quit completely, not just switch to a less toxic version." When you do quit, you'll be happy to know that your risk for coronary heart disease will diminish quickly.

Also avoid second-hand smoke as if your life depended on it because that may literally be the case. Studies show that the risk of developing heart disease is about 25 to 30 percent higher for people who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or work. The American Heart Association notes that exposure to tobacco smoke leads to about 34,000 premature heart disease deaths and 7,300 lung cancer deaths each year.

So put those cigarettes down. Your heart will thank you for the sacrifice.
