Many of them can damage the heart and blood vessels, making them more vulnerable to the narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to heart attack. In addition, nicotine in cigarette smoke makes your heart work harder by narrowing the blood vessels and increases your heart rate and blood pressure.

Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke replaces some fraction of oxygen in the blood. It increases blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder to supply enough oxygen.
