Smoking and Cholesterol, Cholestrol

The dangerous effect between smoking and cholesterol has been known for many years and the association between smoking and cholesterol is well documented in the research literature.

For example Shang Y, in 1992, found that smoking reduced HDL cholesterol, the good cholesterol, while it increased the LDL cholesterol and triglyceride cholesterol - that is the bad cholesterol.

Shang Y also found that:

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 1: The more smoking you did, the worse the effect on cholesterol.

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 2: The longer you take smoking, the worse the effect on cholesterol.

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 3: The deeper you inhaled during smoking, the worse the effect on cholesterol.

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 4: Passive smoking is breathing the air that smokers are smoking in, even though you are not smoking. People in this situation are referred to as passive smokers and they also suffer a marked deterioration in their blood cholesterol condition - equivalent of them being a light smoker.

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 5: How bad does smoking affect cholesterol? The relative risk of the two factors were estimated to be 1.09-5.77 and 2.37-3.57 respectively. Which indicates that smoking affects cholesterol quite markedly. Certainly, smoking and high cholesterol could be considered a very dangerous combination.

From the A.D.A.M. Healthcare Center, September, 2004:

Smoking and cholesterol - effect 6: Smoking, by it's effect on cholesterol, causes 20% of all deaths from heart disease. Smoking does not appear to permanently affect cholesterol levels, so once you stop smoking, the smoking effect on cholesterol will go in a few weeks or months.
