Heart Attacks Reduced In Ireland Since No Smoking Ban
from: According to doctors, the rate of heart attacks in Ireland fell by around one tenth in the year following the nationwide ban on smoking in the workplace and other public places such as pubs and restaurants.Edmond Cronin of the Cork University Hospital and his colleagues have completed and analysis of patients admitted with heart attacks to hospitals in the southwest of Ireland and this showed an 11% fall for the year after the ban came into effect in March 2004.
He said “This should further encourage health authorities to enforce more smoking bans around the world” when interviewed at the annual European Society of Cardiology Congress where he presented the data.
Smoking can lead to heart disease, lung cancer and other respiratory conditions, and is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the world today.
Additional it increases the risk of heart problems like angina, heart failure and heart attacks by contributing to the build-up of cholesterol plaques of the artery walls, leading to narrowing or blockage.
More recent research also suggests that inhaling tobacco smoke, either directly or passively, can trigger a heart attack.
Other research which was presented at this week's cardiology congress concluded that while the dangers of smoking are becoming ever more clear to us all, one in five patients diagnosed with heart disease still continues to smoke.
