Those lipid profile readings are a bit high.Smoking definitely has adverse effects on your cardiovascular health . Avoid smoking, modification of your diet and lifestyle , and exercise for 30 minutes a day .As a primary prevention you need medicine for lowering the cholesterol with a goal of 100 mg LDL.Perhaps later on you can depend upon diet , exercise.
