I think it depends where the non smoker lives. The pollution from cars, industry has got to have some kind of effect on a non smokers heart and lungs....

I smoke and just had a blood test, I was told my blood was too rich (from not enough oxygen) and I was prone for blood clots. The lungs and heart work together and I know my heart works harder because I run out of breath. A smokers heart is not as healthy, for one thing.

Nicotene makes your vessels contract (get smaller), so not as much oxygen can get to your heart muscle. We can tell during a heart cath that a person is a smoker just by the appearance of their vessels. If there is any kind of blockage in the vessel, it is much worse in a small vessel than in a large (normal) one.
