Your risk of heart disease really comes from diet, obesity, and genetic factors. If you have a good diet and stay in decent shape, and don't have a predisposition to heart disease in the family . . then your risk probably isn't high. You do have a significanly increased risk of lung cancer though . . and even if you don't get cancer . . there is emphysema and associated lung disease that you are at risk for. You have no idea how debilitating it is to have these. . . .
