A large-scale U.S. analysis reveals that users of non-cigarette tobacco products, such as cigars and smokeless tobacco, face significantly heightened risks of stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Sole users of smokeless tobacco exhibit a 70% increased risk of heart failure and a 66% higher risk of dying from coronary heart disease. Tobacco harms the cardiovascular system through endothelial damage and oxidative stress, regardless of form. Effective quitting strategies must manage both nicotine addiction and behavioral triggers.
