From the very moment the cigarette smoke reaches the heart of the smoker, it is not allowed to work harder. The pulse rate increases and the heart is not allowed to beat an extra 10 to 25 times per minute, accounting to 36,000 additional times per day. The heart beat becomes more irregular due to the irritating effect of nicotine and other components of tobacco smoke.
