PCOS: Pcos is the most common endocrine abnormality in women. It is associated with metabolic and reproductive issues. The metabolic issues include high cholesterol, high blood pressure and higher risk of diabetes. All of these factors can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is imperative that you stop smoking both for the metabolic, but also the reproductive consequences.
