 Cigar Smoke Affects Blood Vessels
Minerva Santo-Tomas and colleagues from the Mt Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida, measured the dilation of blood vessels in the forearms of 24 nonsmokers, after the blood flow was obstructed for a short time, and compared the result after half of the study group smoked a cigar.
The researchers noted that the impairment in dilation was immediate after smoking a cigar, and that this effect was due to an effect of the cigar smoke on the endothelium, the layer of cells that line the arteries.
Dilation of blood vessels is necessary to increase the blood flow, for instance to the heart after exercise.

 Parents' smoke injures children's blood vessels
Increasing evidence shows that second-hand smoke breaks down the antioxidant defenses, which is associated with impairment of the endothelial-dependent function of arterial walls.  Endothelial dysfunction is an early feature of atherosclerosis, the disease process that underlies heart disease and stroke, and is an important marker of vascular damage.
Children were grouped according to the smoking levels of their parents, whether both parents were smoking at home, and according to the number of cigarettes smoked each day.  Researchers compared results to those from a nonsmoking control group.
Blood and urinary 8-epi-PGF2alpha levels were elevated if children were exposed to second-hand smoke by smoking parents.  “Even if exposed to the second-hand smoke from less than 20 cigarettes a day by one smoking parent, levels were elevated in plasma by 35 to 50 percent and in urine by 20 to 30 percent,” Sinzinger says.

 Secondhand Smoke Breaks Down Blood Vessel "Smoke Screen"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The present study demonstrates how secondhand smoke could increase the risk of coronary heart disease, a major cause of heart attacks," he says.
This is a dangerous form that "sticks" to the inside walls of the blood vessel to form piles of fat, called plaque, that can block the blood vessels or unleash a blood clot, causing a heart attack or stroke.
The researchers measured antioxidants in blood from 10 healthy nonsmoking men and women after they spent 30 minutes in a room full of cigarette smoke.

 Cigarette Smoking and Cardiovascular Diseases
Cigarette and tobacco smoke, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes are the six major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease that you can modify or control.
Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance and increases the tendency for blood to clot.
People who smoke cigars or pipes seem to have a higher risk of death from coronary heart disease (and possibly stroke), but their risk isn't as great as that of cigarette smokers.

 DAYBREAK - Second-Hand Smoke Affects Blood Vessels Immediately, Study Finds
UCSF researchers conclude from a new study that second-hand smoke almost immediately causes blood vessels to constrict abnormally, and that damage to cells lining blood vessels is likely to be a key contributor to heart disease in individuals chronically exposed to second-hand smoke.
Earlier studies by the same UCSF research team, in which rabbits with high cholesterol were chronically exposed to second-hand smoke for eight hours a day, five days per weeks for eight to 10 weeks, found a higher incidence of heart disease compared to high-cholesterol rabbits not exposed to smoke.
Despite the blood vessel constriction measured with short-term exposure, after several hours of smoke exposure the rabbits seemed to compensate, with their blood vessels recovering the ability to dilate and contract properly.

Smoking is a nasty habit with severe consequences, as King's cancer-stick sucking characters soon find out.
Steve has just stopped smoking, and when his soon-to-be ex-wife's lawyer sets up a luncheon at the Gotham Cafe to discuss the details of the divorce.
King cleverly compares the two kinds of withdrawal: obsession blends with emotional flatness, and you're left 'with a feeling the world has taken on a decidedly dreamy cast.' Driven, Steve meets with his wife and her lawyer at a midtown Manhattan restaurant, where the nightmare begins.

 UCSF PRESS RELEASE - SECOND-HAND SMOKE AFFECTS BLOOD VESSELS IMMEDIATELY, UCSF RESEARCHERS FIND - 04/01/98   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Earlier studies by the same UCSF research team, in which rabbits with high cholesterol were chronically exposed to secondhand smoke for eight hours a day, five days per weeks for eight to 10 weeks, found a higher incidence of heart disease compared to high-cholesterol rabbits not exposed to smoke.
To determine how much secondhand smoke causes lasting damage, additional studies would be needed to determine a threshold duration of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke or a minimal interval between such smoke exposures, Parmley says.
The researchers reported that levels of secondhand smoke encountered by many people in their daily lives are sufficient to damage the cardiovascular system substantially.

Available in CD and cassette, Blood and Smoke drips with gore more often than it does nicotine, but it’s just as habit-forming as your average pack of Marlboros.
Blood and Smoke is a nifty collection of stories that do their job as sharp and neat as an icepick thrust into your brain.
Speaking of blood, I simply can’t resist including this one last reminder of what sets King apart from his peers—dead or alive—in the genre: his ability to make us look at horror in such a way that we may never want to pull our fingers from our eyes.

Serre was a significant target on that day because from their trenches in front of the village, the Germans had a high view over a wide area of No-Mans Land, including the part which would be crossed slightly to the South, in the attack on Beaumont-Hamel and Hawthorn Ridge.
In the event, the smoke failed, as the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, but even if the wind had been more helpful, the Germans in the area would not have been confused for long but, hopefully, for just long enough.
Smoking was prohibited, and each driver had to remain with his pair of horses, sitting astride one and driving the other by means of a short whip, the off-horse being trained to respond to light touches from it.
