Heart Risks Said To Be Lowered In Women Who Quit Smoking

New details has emerged suggesting that based on a recent research it has been shown that women who quit smoking have a 47 percent lower risk of dying from coronary heart disease within five years of extinguishing their last cigarette.

It is noteworthy of mention that according to the study, the risks of dying from other conditions also decline after quitting, although the time frame varies depending on the disease.

As Study author, Stacey Kenfield, whose report is in the May 7 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association aptly put it: "The harms of smoking are reversible and can decline to the level of nonsmokers. For some conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, it can take more than 20 years, but there is a rapid reduction for others."

She added; "It's never too early to stop, and it's never too late to stop."

It should be noted that at this stage, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.
