Heavy smokers who had quit smoking also has a natural risk cerebral hemorrhage, two times higher than people who do not smoke.
Scientists from Korea to investigate the 426 cases of cerebral hemorrhage that occurred in the range of 2002 and 2004.
These patients were compared with 426 people who were matched by age and sex and never suffered a brain hemorrhage.
The respondents were also more or less smokers experienced a brain hemorrhage compared with those who did not smoke.
The more a person smoked, the greater the risk to be faced. In addition to the use of excessive salt, weight loss, and comorbidities of diabetes, on average, smokers have an increased risk for brain bleeding 2.84 times higher.
The research team led by Dr. Chi Kyung Kim, of Seoul National University Hospital, wrote in the medical journal, "Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry," that his team had to demonstrate that smoking led to increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
"Quitting smoking is to reduce the risk of brain hemorrhage, but heavy smokers could just get little benefit even if they have stopped," he said, as reported by dailymail and Reuters.
In a short span of time, smoking can thicken the blood so that it can increase blood pressure. These two things are the trigger bleeding in the brain, according to scientists.
Besides heavy smokers will experience changes in the structure of the arterial wall that endanger health. *
