Smoking will not cause diabetes or vice versa. The relationship here is that persons with diabetes have a higher risk of heart disease...and it's been proven that heart disease & smoking go hand in hand. In addition to this, diabetics already have a tendancy to have poor circulation (d/t an inability of their cells to metabolize & utilize the sugar-which often leads to amputations) and...it is known that persons who smoke often have circulatory problems and higher risk for peripheral vascular/artery diseases & atherosclerosis (clogged arteries) which could lead to the heart disease mentioned above.

Yes.
Heart disease accounts for approximately 50% of all deaths among people with diabetes in industrialized countries. Risk factors for heart disease in people with diabetes include smoking, high blood pressure, high serum cholesterol and obesity.

If you already have diabetes, smoking can make it worse.
