Yes: Increased risk of a clot in your legs , called deep venous therombosis (DVT) & pulmonary embolism. Smoking, sedentary life, obesity, bad circulation & Estrogens are among those risk factors. Also smoking will cause , as you know cancer, accelerated aging, atherosclerosis, heart, & kidney damage. Quit asap, & get professional assistance.
