Eating saturated fats like you find in meats can cause heart disease. That's pretty much an established fact and is well known. But smoking cigarettes not only do they mess up your lungs, but they really cause problems with your arteries. When I read about all the variety of toxins that are introduced into the blood from smoking - wow it scares me.
I was one of the fortunate ones in that I went in the woods with the other boys and tried a cigarette. Actually it was a little Italian cigar. I don't know I was a simpleton, but it made me so sick that I lay on the couch and thought I was going to die. I was sick for at least an hour. I mean I prayed to God - if he let me past this one I would never smoke again and I never did. I guess in a way that was a blessing.
If you smoke - read about what it puts in your blood. It will scare you smokeless!
Smoking also lowers your HDL good cholesterol so it promotes heart disease. In most cases, you want to eat or do things(like exercise) that will raise your HDL levels not lower them.
