5 SNEAKY Habits That can Damage Your Heart Being around Smoke
Possibly the worst of bad habits which damage your heart is smoking. You might associate smoking with lung damage, especially lung cancer, but smoking also increases your risk of blood clots and plaque in your arteries. Also remember that this is about being exposed to smoke, not just being a smoker yourself - if your roommate smokes, for example, you are just as much at risk as they are if they smoke around you. Figures show that almost 50,000 cases of heart disease diagnosed each year are from second-hand smoke inhalation.
