My family is learning first hand just how true this is - my mother has some serious blood clots and they told her unless she quit smoking for at least three months, they wouldn't even consider doing the surgery!
Thank you for the very important reminder to us all - smoking isn't worth ANY OF THIS!!

Members,
 
Nicotine causes a rise in heart rate and in the rate of breathing. It also increases the propensity of the blood to clot and also causes an increased need for oxygen, which makes the heart work harder then necessary.
