Role of Smoking in Thrombus Formation Smoking significantly increases the risk of thrombus (blood clot) formation through various mechanisms, primarily by affecting platelet activity, coagulation factors, and endothelial function.

It also alters coagulation factors, promoting a prothrombotic state and impairing fibrinolysis. | Dr. Najeeb
