The research team analyzed the health status of 426 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and found that the cause was 2.8 times more likely to be due to smoking than non-smokers. The mortality rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage is 50%.

According to the research team, smoking causes high blood pressure, changes blood vessels and causes cerebral hemorrhage.

Previously, according to research by the University of California in the US, passive smoking killed about 42,000 people in this country each year, including nearly 900 children.

In addition, passive smoking is also linked to a number of deadly diseases, including heart and lung diseases, and also has significant effects on newborns such as low birth weight and respiratory failure./.
