Abstrakt		Smoking is a strong risk factor for premature atherosclerosis, atherothrombotic events and cardio-vascular death. Curiously, smokers with acute myocardial infarction have lower short-term mortality rates than nonsmokers. The "smokers paradox" can be explained by differences in baseline risk factors, and not smoking status per se, mainly because smokers suffer their myocardial infarctions on average a decade earlier than nonsmokers.
