Answer:

Smoking and arterial plaques increases the chances of hypertension by causing constriction in the blood vessels that increases the pressure of blood flowing into the blood vessels.

Hypertension can be defined as the high blood pressure inside the blood vessels. It is caused due to the extra force exerted on the walls of the blood vessels.

Smoking and arterial plaques aids in the deposition of matter inside the blood vessels that increases the pressure and leds to hypertension.
