The hazards of smoking and alcohol in Pune are a growing concern for heart specialists. Both habits directly damage blood vessels and raise the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and rhythm abnormalities. Smoking reduces oxygen in the blood, forcing the heart to work harder, while alcohol disrupts blood pressure and sugar levels. Dr Pramod Narkhede often sees patients with cardiomyopathy, uncontrolled sugars, and coronary artery disease that developed due to long term addiction. These substances also worsen hypertension and pulmonary hypertension, leading to breathlessness and fatigue. Quitting or reducing these habits improves circulation and lowers inflammation in the arteries. In Pune, awareness about these risks is helping more people choose healthier paths. Over time, the heart regains strength, and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest falls sharply.
