Lung;
Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.
Heart;
Smoking damages the heart and blood vessels. Over the time, fatty deposits (called plaque or atheroma) can build up inside one or more of the coronary arteries (a process called atherosclerosis). This narrowing of the arteries reduces the flow of blood to the heart and increases the risk of heart attack.
Fertility;
Male smokers can suffer decreased sperm quality with lower counts (numbers of sperm) and motility (sperm's ability to move) and increased numbers of abnormallyshaped sperm. Smoking might also decrease the sperm's ability to fertilize eggs.
