They can, especially if they have lived their entire lives in a home with a heavy smoker. In sufficient quantities, over long periods of time, a cat's health can be affected by second-hand smoke. Try not to smoke in your home if you have cats or dogs.

Personally, I smoke, and I have tried many times to stop smoking in my home, but I just can't do it (especially in the winter). So I keep my windows open at all times, except in the dead of winter when it's just way too cold for that. But even in the dead of winter, I still open all the windows for 30 to 60 minutes, a couple times a day.

If you can't stop smoking in your home, then make your home as well-ventilated as possible. In addition to opening the windows and airing the place out, you can also get air filters for your home. Some air conditioning units also have an exhaust setting, which sucks the air from inside your home and blows it outside.
