5. Quit Smoking Permanently
Cigarette and tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide, which the red blood cells carry throughout the body. Once inside your bloodstream, carbon monoxide can increase the number of cholesterol deposits in your arteries.
Over time, these plaque deposits can cause the hardening of your arteries and increase your risk of a stroke. Because the nicotine in cigarettes is so addictive, permanently quitting smoking gives smokers their best chances of limiting exposure to the toxins in cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and other tobacco products.
