According to reports, recently an international study conducted by Minnesota University and Johns Hopkins University, declared that all the women who are in a tendency of smoking should immediately quit their habits.

In the meantime, on Thursday, the study findings were published in the Lancet’s online edition and the researchers claimed that their study, surprisingly found that as compared to men, in women, smoking perpetually increased the coronary heart disease risk by 2%.

However, after making the findings in public interest, the researchers accounted that for the study purpose, they collected data of more than two million people and were shocked to find that for women, the augmented heart disease risk was tied to smoking and in comparison with men, it was 1.25 times higher.

Meanwhile, they also affirmed that in comparison with a man who smoked for the same time period, women also suffered from other heart risks and the physiological differences between men and women were found to be the chief reason behind the difference in the risk levels.

On the other hand, while sharing their views about their study, both the authors added, "Whether mechanisms underlying the sex difference in risk of coronary heart disease are biological or related to differences in smoking behavior between men and women is unclear and Tobacco-control programs should consider women, particularly in those countries where smoking among young women is increasing in prevalence”.
