Smoking Mental Illness and Heart Attacks

More and more reasons not to smoke appear almost every day. Fortunately for researchers there are plenty of people who do smoke so they can find things to study!

In a review of over a million individuals in Sweden, smoking any amount caused a significant increased risk of schizophrenia; more that 10 cigarettes a day was associated with a 3-4 times increased risk.

In another review, researchers found that smoking resulted in accelerating the risk of heart disease about 7-10 years; and even stopping after 20 years still made you lose 3-4 years.

Mental illness, Cancer, Strokes, Heart Attacks, Lung Disease - how can anyone think it is worth it?
