The correct answer to this question is Yes. Smoking can cause a number of issues to the health of a person. One of the main aspects of health that it affects is the person's ability to breath. This is due to the impact of the lungs, which is one of the primary organs in the body.

This is why one of the leading cancers that come from smoking is lung cancer. Another organ of the body that is impacted by smoking is the heart, because it can increase the heart rate. When the heart rate increases, this also increases the chances of a heart attack.
