They are four to six times more likely to die of heart disease than breast cancer and it kills more women over 65 than all cancers combined. Compared to men, women develop heart problems later in life, usually seven or eight years later. However, when a woman reach 65, the risk is just the same as the man's.

Studies show that smoking is a major factor for heart disease in women. Statistics show that more than half of heart attacks in women under 50 years old are related to smoking. Staying away from nicotine can lower your risk of heart disease by one third within two years. Smoking women who also use contraceptives have high risk. I know that it's difficult to stop smoking especially if you've been used to it, but there are a number of products that can help you like nicotine skin patches or nicotine gum which are available over the counter.
