I hope that you now have a better understanding of the complexity of the heart, brain, and blood. As I go into this I want you to keep in mind your lifestyle and habits. A few years ago I attended the blood donor recognition banquet at Fairfax Hospital. I was talking to one of the hospital pathologists who informed me of an awakening fact. Had these patients NOT used tobacco products, they may not have been patients in the hospital.
