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]
Non-malignant disease
Non-lung
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
- Recurrent breast abscess.[3]
Lung
Main article: Medical_lung_diseases#Smoking_associated_disease
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Pulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis (Eosinophilic granuloma).
- Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP).
- Respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease (RBILD).
Cancer
- Lung cancer, esp. small cell carcinoma, squamous carcinoma, mesothelioma.
- Bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma).[4]
- Kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma).[4]
- Head and neck cancer (squamous cell carcinoma - mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus).
- Colorectal cancer (adenocarcinoma).
- Cervical cancer (carcinoma).[5]
- Pancreatic carcinoma.[5]
- Myeloid leukaemia.[6]

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