Abstract
Smoking is a powerful risk factor for coronary heart disease, responsible for numerous deaths each year. This qualitative literature review provides contemporary knowledge regarding the relationship between CHD and smoking as well as an evaluation of current treatment approaches. An electronic search was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct to examine and assess academic material during the last 5 years. The results indicate that smoking is connected with CHD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in the female population. Also, there is an association with alcohol, body weight, and smokeless tobacco. Gender is also a crucial factor in the frequency of smoking, as heavy smokers need more time to lower the danger of CHD in comparison to current smokers. Modern treatment strategies place a lot of focus on pharmacotherapy and holistic treatments.
