Smoking is a thing people do to destroy their health. On the plus side... these people may be cheaper to care for, i.e. they have lower health care costs, as they die earlier.[1][2]

  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
  • Recurrent breast abscess.[3]

Lung

Cancer

Second hand smokers

The relative risk for lung cancer in second hand smokers versus non-smokers is approximately 1.3.[7]
