Smoking and Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke in Men
Stroke 34:1151-1155, Kurth,T.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This prospective study suggests an increased risk of total hemorrhagic stroke, ICH, and SAH in current cigarette smokers with a graded increase in risk that depended on how many cigarettes were smoked. The effect of smoking on ICH is of about the same magnitude as the effect of smoking on ischemic stroke. Our results add to the multiple health benefits that can be accrued by abstaining from cigarette smoking.
