Smoking releases VOCs into the atmopshere. If there is NOx present (from infernal combustion engines), and violet or more energetic light, the "ozone as smog" is formed.
Smoking releases chlorine-containing compounds into the air, and consumes a small amount of oxygen. Both serve to decrease the ozone in the ozone layer by a few hundreds of molecules... sometime next year when the effect diffuses up to that altitude.
Better to consider what the smoke does to the smoker, both here and now, and as they age.
