Boston University Medical School researchers report in the New England Journal of Medicine that smoking alone accounts for up to 75 percent of heart attacks in women under 50. The study links daily cigarette counts to premature heart attack risk, with 35 or more cigarettes daily boosting risk 21 fold, and 15 to 24 cigarettes daily raising it 4.6 fold, based on 55 female hospital heart attack cases versus 220 noncoronary admissions. Dr Dennis Sloane notes this isolates smoking risk from other factors.
