yes to all.

People who smoke have a greater chance of getting many of the above.

Because the rate of occurrence is far higher in smokers.

I am not a doctor but I would still love to give my opinion to your question. Yes to all of the above question. Because people who smoke are more apt to become ill. Insurance companies end up paying the medical bills or the state ends up paying the medical bills. By relating it to smoking and trying to get the patience to quit it will save the insurance companies and the tax payers money. I honestly believe that everyone have a gene in there body for cancer and what it does is lay dormant. If the gene decides that it wants to become active that is when your body develops cancer. Now the reason I believe this is I do know several people who do not smoke and have never smoked in there life but have developed cancer and have died from it. Thank you for allowing me to express my opinion.
