Nicotine causes inflammation in the arteries, which leads to narrowing and hardening of the blood vessels. When blood can't flow freely to your brain, you're at risk for blood clots, stroke and aneurysms. Nicotine also increases your endorphins, brain chemicals that make you feel good.
Sept. 14, 2007 -- New research shows that nicotine from cigarette smoke may promote hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), even with low-nicotine cigarettes. Atherosclerosis makes heart attacks more likely. The new study focuses on mice, not people.But the researchers say the findings may help explain why smoking is a risk factor for heart disease. The best thing to do is quit smoking, says Daniel Catanzaro, PhD, of Cornell University's Weill Medical College, in a news release.
