I've heard that it has something to do with interfering with calcium absorption. Can you confirm or deny or add to that?

Yes, smoking decreases the calcium absorption which means your bones are less dense and more fragile.

There is a line of info for smokers about calcium absorption.

Smoking causes your gums to recede and your teeth may eventually fall out, I have not heard of calcium absorption link.
