Smoking is a proven risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke increase the risk for the buildup of plaque inside the arteries (atherosclerosis).
Plaque may partially or totally block blood flow through large- or medium-sized arteries in the heart, brain, pelvis, legs, arms or kidneys.
