Is it true that cigarette smoking causes high blood pressure in adults?
Unclear. Only partial evidence was found: a small Nepali survey and a 34-man acute smoking study report short-term blood-pressure increases, and a mouse study shows chronic smoke exposure raises blood pressure. No retrieved item establishes that cigarette smoking causes high blood pressure in adults generally.
