More on atherosclerosis - smoking leads to it and it leads to heart attack and stroke - that should be enough reason for anyone who reads it to kick the habit. I liked the list format- I didn't need to wade through lots of information to find the facts I wanted.
The surgeon generals report on smoking and its effects on the heart is discussed here. If you are a smoker this should give you a good incentive to think about quiting.
