There can be many sicknesses that can accumulate from smoking cigarettes. One of them can be lung cancer but I am not aware of any others. It is best not to smoke especially around kids and others because second hand smoke is worse than first hand smoke. Also, I think smoking can cause asthma as well. I am not so sure about that but I know that alto of pple who worked at the world trade center site either had some lung problems or cancer or asthma.

Because smoking reduces blood flow to all areas of the body, you're looking at sickness all over.- but particularly the major organs, such as your heart and lungs.
There's a detailed and fun story about the effects of smoking here: http://www.quitguide.com/effects-of-smoking.html
