Smoking
and Heart Attacks
There are many people who
still smoke and go to the gym. I can just smell the smoke on their
clothing
as they walk by. Imagine what the smoking is doing to their bodies! It
almost defeats the purpose of exercising!
Now there is a Canadian study
published in the British Journal of Medicine that indicates smoking
causes
heart attacks. Logically this makes sense. Even second hand smoke can
cause
heart attacks in people who do not even smoke. Just another reason to
quit
smoking. Anyway, the trend internationally (especially in North
America)
is to reduce the number of smokers.
