hi dear.
tobacco definitely increased the pulse rate and blood pressure.
nicotine cause vaso constriction which cause increased both pulse and BP.
so its better to quit tobacco in place of taking inderal daily.
to quit tobacco consult psychiatrist.
also tobacco is risk factor for heart disease.
Thank you
