Main points
First, I will speak about the effects of smoking on smokers. Second, I will speak about second-hand smoking.

Finally, I will show some statistics about the number of smokers in KSA, UK, and USA.

Effect of smoking
To begin with, smoking causes many health related problems, such as stroke and coronary heart diseases, which is the leading cause of death in the US according to CDC. Even people who smoke less than five cigarettes a day can have signs of cardiovascular disease. In addition, blockages caused by smoking reduce blood flow to your organs.

Moreover, smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body. For example:
Colon

Liver
Pancreas Stomach lung

Smoking is one of the factors that increase your risk of Osteoporosis (decrease in bone mass and density). Tobacco's chemicals harm our blood cells and the function of our heart. For example, it causes heart attacks, coronary artery disease, and stroke. Each cigarette you smoke damages your breathing process. It could cause Pneumonia, and Emphysema (COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
