There's no way around it. Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body. Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. It is also responsible for many other cancers and health problems. These include lung disease, heart and blood vessel disease, stroke and cataracts. Women who smoke have a greater chance of certain pregnancy problems or having a baby die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Your smoke is also bad for other people - they breathe in your smoke secondhand and can get many of the same problems as smokers do.
Quitting smoking can reduce your risk of these problems. The earlier you quit, the greater the health benefit.

:''For other uses, see Smoke (disambiguation).'' '''Smoke''' is a suspension (chemistry) in air of small particles resulting from incomplete combustion of a fuel. It is commonly an unwanted by-product of fires (including in stoves, lamp) and fireplaces, but may also be used for pest control, communication (smoke signals) or tobacco. Smoke sometimes also is a component of internal combustion engine exhaust gas, particularly diesel exhaust. Smoke inhalation is a the primary cause of death in victims of indoor fires. The smoke kills by a combination of thermal damage and poisoning and lung irritation caused by carbon monoxide, cyanide and other combustion products.
