Smoking or Vaping | Dr. Raja Nag | Manipal Hospital Broadway and Saltlake

Smoking or vaping—many assume one is safer than the other. But when it comes to your heart, both can cause harm. Dr. Raja Nag, Consultant – Interventional Cardiology at Manipal Hospital Broadway and Manipal Hospital Saltlake explains that smoking damages blood vessels, raises blood pressure, reduces oxygen supply, and significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Vaping may expose the body to fewer toxins than cigarettes, but it is not risk-free—nicotine can still increase heart rate, blood pressure, and stress on the cardiovascular system. The real winner for your heart is neither smoking nor vaping. Quitting both is the best step toward better heart health. If you smoke or vape regularly, now is the time to seek support and protect your heart. #ManipalHospitalBroadway #ManipalHospitalSaltlake #DrRajaNag #HeartHealth #Smoking #Vaping #QuitSmoking #CardiacCare #InterventionalCardiology #HealthyHeart #KolkataHealthcare
