Both weight reduction & moderation or abstinance of alcohol will decrease blood pressure..
Smoking causes HTN but stopping doesn't cause a decrease of blood pressure, stopping smoking is more related to heart, lung & peripheral circulation.
for decrease HTN the risks r as to follow respectively:
1. Alcohol
2. weight
this is because stopping or modurating alcohol has a faster outcome..
