Smoky cars & rooms might increase high blood pressure risk

We've heard that passive smoking is dangerous, but a recent research suggests that if a room or a car is smoky, stay away until it has been cleared. The research presented recently at EuroHeartCare 2019, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), says that the risk of high blood pressure is higher with longer duration of passive smoking - but even the lowest amounts are dangerous. The authors of the study suggest that you must avoid exposure to second-hand smoke and smoky environments to protect your heart.
