The harmful health effects of smoking cigarettes presented in the list below only begin to convey the long term side effects of smoking.
Quitting makes sense for many reasons but simply put: smoking is bad for health.
Harmful Effects of Smoking
Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking cigarettes - Smoking KILLS.
One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs
amputated.
Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.
Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight, prematurity, spontaneous abortion, and perinatal mortality in humans, which has been referred to as the fetal tobacco syndrome.
As mentioned earlier, this list can only begin to convey the harmful health effects of smoking cigarettes and its long term side effects. Next we consider reasons why smoking is bad for those around you in the effects of second hand smoke.

I assume you mean "smoking cigarette's"?
The "smoke" itself likely has little affect on the environment compared to things such as car fumes 500 million cars or something in the world drive everyday (CO2), a coal burning plant, China's robust economy (google or yahoo search, "China's Smog Problem" which was a real eye opener on how bad the pollution is in China's cities) and the list goes on.
As human beings we are lucky to have the ability to control the planet . Due to this we toss our cigarette "butts or filters" all over the place - making beautiful streets "ashtrays". Everywhere you go in public you will find cigarette buts including beautiful parks, waterways and forests (not to mention our landfills and cities).
In my overall opinion, Smoking effects the environment in a negative way without a doubt and its not really because the actual "smoke" as I said. It is the cigarette buts left behind that actually do the damage on the environment. It actually makes me a bit angry when I see a cigarette but on my lawn or on a street corner. I can not get myself to pick them up without gloves because some lazy smoker put it in their mouth! (I am sure many can agree with this statement which is why cigarette buts lay everywhere!) Smoking is a public health hazard to people who smoke but its also an environmental issue due to the amount of cigarette buts found outside of proper trash cans!
I hope this helps!
