Best Answer

smoking inhibits osteoblast (the rebuilding of bone) and promotes osteoclast (bone breakdown) These two process are an ongoing process within your body. Because a substance in cigarettes increases the function of one and inhibits the other you are more likely to have bone issues, such as osteoporosis.
