A study presented to the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress has showed that in people aged 18-30, just one cigarette increases the stiffness of arteries by 25%. That's right, just one cigarette, even if it's your first one ever, can do this to you. This damages your arteries and puts more stress on your heart, and can lead to blood clots, a decreased amount of oxygen in the blood, plaque build up, higher blood pressure, and a stroke.
