How does smoking affect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol?

The process by which smoking ages the body is multi-factored, affecting the whole body. For example, it causes inflammation in all of its major systems and organs. Most of us now know about low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "lousy" cholesterol contributing to arterial aging, but most heart attacks, strokes, impotence, and memory loss occur in people with relatively or absolutely normal LDL cholesterol levels.

I believe inflammation is one of the culprits -- if not the leading culprit -- of aging of our arteries, and smoking fosters inflammation of the arteries and immune systems. Scientists believe this inflammation allows LDL cholesterol, even when you have normal levels of LDL cholesterol (and to greater degrees if you have increased levels), to accumulate in the wall of the artery as plaque. In this fashion, smoking causes arterial and heart disease and is responsible for more than 80 percent of all heart-disease deaths in those under fifty.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
