Nicotine causes heart disease by decreasing oxygen to the heart, increasing blood pressure and heart rate, increasing blood clotting and damaging cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels. Nicotine narrows the blood vessels, increasing the heart rate and putting more strain on the heart. It narrows the arteries to make them vulnerable to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which can led to heart attack or stroke.
