give 5 diseases of the circulatory system brought about by smoking and vaping
Answer (1)
1. Atherosclerosis – This is the hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup. Smoking damages the blood vessels and leads to this condition, which can limit blood flow. 2. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) – Smoking and vaping can reduce oxygen in the blood and damage artery walls, increasing the risk of blockages in the heart’s arteries. 3. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) – Nicotine from cigarettes and vapes can cause blood vessels to tighten, making the heart work harder and raising blood pressure. 4. Stroke – Smoking increases the risk of blood clots and weakens blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to a stroke when blood supply is interrupted. 5. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – This affects blood flow to the limbs (especially the legs). Smoking causes poor circulation and damages arteries outside the heart and brain.In short: Smoking and vaping harm the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of serious, life-threatening circulatory diseases.
