Could I Have Caused Damage By Smoking?
Hello. I am a 49 year old woman who has three stents -- two in my heart and one in the main artery in my neck, placed almost 2 years ago. I quit smoking but in the past two weeks, i've been smoking again. . Could I have already caused damage in this short of time?

Dear madam
Thanks for writing to us.
The damage caused by smoking accumulated over a period of time. Hence each cigar will cause some bad effect on your body. How much is it is a guess but definitely it has its bad effects. Please stop smoking from now onward to have good health.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
