    Thrombosis

    Coronary thrombosis: a blood clot in the arteries supplying the heart, which can lead to a heart attack. Around 30 per cent are caused by smoking.

    Smokers tend to develop coronary thrombosis 10 years earlier than non-smokers, and make up 9 out of 10 heart bypass patients.
    Cerebral thrombosis: the vessels to the brain can become blocked, which can lead to collapse, stroke and paralysis.
    If the kidney arteries are affected, then high blood pressure or kidney failure results.
    Blockage to the vascular supply to the legs may lead to gangrene and amputation.
    Circulatory troubles are also monstrous risks from smoking. While the bulk people associate smoking with cancer, even more people die from circulatory troubles caused by cigarette smoking than from cancers caused from cigarettes.
    The effects on the circulatory system are both immediate and dangerous. Nicotine is a stimulant which raises the heart rate and blood pressure, constricts the arteries, and, in conjunction with carbon monoxide, causes atherosclerotic conditions within the artery walls.
    This clogging way affects the heart as well as other sites of the body such as the brain or peripheral circulation in the extremities, sometimes resulting in gangrene and amputations. Over 200,000 of smoking associated deaths are attributed to the combined effect of nicotine and carbon monoxide on the circulatory system.
