Female Smokers and Coronary Heart

RECENT research suggests that women who quit smoking have a 21 percent lower risk of coronary heart exposed to at least within 5 years after she quit smoking.

The risk is also influenced by other conditions, although the length of time varies depending on the condition of the disease.

"Losses due to smoking could be turned, from a smoker to a nonsmoker," said study author Stacey Kenfield who reported on this proficiency level in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

"For some conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary (chronic respiratory disease), can take more than 20 years, but there are faster for others."

"It is never too early and never too late to quit smoking," added Kenfield is a researcher at the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard, Boston.

Smoking is still the leading cause of death in the United States. Not only lung cancer caused by tobacco smoke, but also has implications for heart disease, various types of cancer and other respiratory problems.

Based on data from World Health Organization, WHO, an estimated 3 million people in industrialized countries will die due to smoking in 2030 to come. And the same thing will occur in developing countries, an estimated 7 million people will die from smoking cigarettes.
