Risk to personal health:

Cigarette smoke is full of toxic chemicals that harm the smoker and others who inhale the smoke or the air that contains smoke (passive smoking). Elements contained in the smoke promote cancer and Heart disease, and generally discourage general fitness.

Other risks to health and property:

Other risks of smoking are related to the use of fire (you may fall asleep while smoking and inadvertently set the house on fire) or carelessness (you may try to light a cigarette while driving a car, thus causing an accident due to lack of attention).

Other risks:

Smoking ain't cheap. A regular smoker can smoke many more than 20 cigarettes per day, which amounts to a substantial cost factor over the cause of a week or month. In extreme cases, this can lead to criminal acts (e.g. shoplifting), and will generally lead to a diversion of funds away from savings or other worthy investments.

Can smoking cause infection?

Smoking increases the risk of infection and the epidemiology of smoking related infection, and delineated implications of this increased risk of infection among cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking is a substantial risk factor for important bacterial and viral infections. For example, smokers incur a 2 to 4 fold increased risk of invasive pneumatically disease. Influenza risk is several fold higher and is much more severe in smokers than nonsmokers. Perhaps the greatest public health impact of smoking on infection is the increased risk of tuberculosis, a particular problem in underdeveloped countries where smoking rates are increasing rapidly.
