Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that smoking is considered a cardiovascular risk factor together with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and hereditary history for cardiovascular disease. So, you don't mention your age, but you are diagnosed now with hypertension. If you continue to smoke you add to your self another risk factor. There are thinks that doesn't depend on you like hypertension, hereditary, but you can control smoking, it's on your hand. So, of course you should stop smoking because doing, so you prevent your self from adverse cardiovascular event caused by smoking. I encourage you to do so, because this is the best think for you. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.
