Pneumonia: Pneumonia demands respect. I can kill you very quickly. Smoking will cause many other things like cancer of the mouth, neck, esophagus, lung, bladder. Heart disease(htn, myocardial infartion, peripheral vascular disease, stroke), respiratory (copd, asthma). Lung cancer kills more than colon, prostate, breast, & ovarian cancers combined. Smoking is strongly associated with lung cancer incidence.
