Abstract

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the foremost cause of morbidity and mortality in the world and in our country. What is favorable in terms of epidemic cardiovascular diseases is that they are substantially "preventable". Smoking is one of the leading preventable risk factors. Smoking causes development and progression of cardiovascular diseases through different pathophysiological processes such as endothelial dysfunction, development and progression of atherosclerosis, hemodynamic effects, inflammation, hypercoagulable state, and dyslipidemia. Cardiologists, who encounter the clinical consequences of smoking, play a central role in informing patients regarding the hazards of smoking, supporting them for smoking cessation, providing psychological and pharmacological treatments as well as cardiovascular effects of these treatments. Starting the fight against smoking, which seriously threatens public health, seems to be the most appropriate start regarding fight for the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases.
