The CFC's released are causing this. These are released by humans.
Ozone is described as hazardous at ground level but helpful in the upper atmosphere because at ground level, ozone is poisonous but, in the upper atmosphere, it protects us from the sun's radiation.
I think smoking has little to do with the ozone
Depletion OZONE layer : -Ozone(o3)gas resembling oxygen present in the upper atmosphere, acting as protective layer saving the life of earth from the dreadful effects of UV rays from the outer atmosphere.The Ozone layer is depleted by the action of gases such as chlorofluro carbons(ferons) led into the atmosphere. The gases used generally as refrigerants, aircrafts etc., the depletion of Ozone is reffered as "Holes of OZONE Layer'.
The ozone is a single layer. There is no upper and lower layer.
The stratospheric ozone layer is the layer that protects the earth from UV radiation which is harmful to all life forms. Over the years pollution and other things have cause destruction to the ozone layer and began to break it down and deplete it's ability to protect the planet. Eventually, if this continues, the ozone layer will disappear and UV rays will destroy the earth.
Ozone depletion is occurring in the upper atmosphere.
Ozone depletion means that there is less ozone than there was. We worry about ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. At the surface, the less the better; it's poisonous.
CFC's are responsible for ozone depletion. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere
Ozone is described as hazardous at ground level but helpful in the upper atmosphere because at ground level, ozone is poisonous but, in the upper atmosphere, it protects us from the sun's radiation.
The ozone layer is found in the upper atmosphere. It is because of the suitable conditions there.

Yes, it will lead it. Ozone depletion causes UV to enter. These cause skin cancer.
Nature is always doing something different.The primary "hole" in our ozone layer is actually a naturally occurring thinning of the ozone layer over Antaricia at the end of the long dark winter. Ozone naturally depletes in our atmosphere and we need the sun and oxygen to react and replenish the ozone. If we compressed the upper level ozone into one layer we would see a total thickness of around 3mm in the summer months. At the return of the su.n to the Anarti, this would have reduced down to as little as 1mm of thickness. Fortunately, this layer replenishes very quickly when the sun returns. The primary cause of this reduction is lack of sunlight. Another factor why this hole is so much larger then the much smaller Artic hole is becUse there is more water vapor reaching the upper atmosphere. The largest changes to the overall amount of ozone in our atmosphere is solar activity. Solar flares reaching our atmosphere are believed to have caused the single largest reduction in ozone way back in September of 1859. Man is also a contributor to the issue. Some chemicals, such as CFCs have been noted in trace amounts to have some affect on the overall levels of ozone. The sun reacting with oxygen though will always create ozone and as long as we have these to elements, we will have ozone in the atmosphere.See "What is causing the depletion of the ozone layer" in the "Related questions" section below.
