The more people smoke, the greater the risk they bring to themselves. Therefore, in daily life, smokers need to strictly control the amount of smoking they smoke every day and work hard to quit smoking. After people quit smoking, the mortality rate of coronary heart disease and the incidence of myocardial infarction are significantly reduced, and as the time of quitting smoking increases, the impact on people's bodies is also smaller.
