text: Cigarette smoking (CS) is a major risk factor for acute coronary thrombosis leading to myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.7 Cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) seems to alter the balance of antithrombotic/prothrombotic factors and profibrinolytic/antifibrinolytic factors by affecting the functions of ECs, platelets, fibrinogen, and coagulation factors.7 A meta-analysis of 20 studies showed a 36% reduction in the crude relative risk of mortality for patients with coronary heart disease who quit smoking compared with those who continued smoking.
