Rose Marie Robertson, M.D., FAHA, American Heart Association Deputy Chief Science and Medical Officer. Offering perspective on AHA Scientific Sessions 2020 Presentation P1917 copyright American Heart Association 2020 You know, this data might be actually quite frightening to people thinking, "Boy, I couldn't control this." Children almost never can control their exposure to secondhand smoke. And people might be thinking, "Wow. I've had this damage. There's nothing I can do about it." But that's not the case, we think. We think that making sure that you're not further exposed is an important thing that you can do. So, kids who are exposed to smoking in fact, are much more likely to take up smoking themselves. So certainly anyone who was both exposed when they were young, and is now a smoker, absolutely needs to quit. You don't wanna keep accumulating damage. And you wanna be healthy in all the other aspects that we talk about. You want to have a healthy diet. You wanna have physical activity that helps you to be energetic and get out there and do your 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. Make sure that your blood pressure is checked, make sure that you maintain a lean body weight. All of the other things, having your cholesterol watched will help you continue to be healthy. You can't change what happened to you as a youth but in fact, you can lead a healthy life from here on out. And those changes will indeed continue to reduce your risk from whatever level it's at now. The EHA has a lot of ways to help people with that."
