Answers:
Nicotine is not what is the primary killer in cigarettes. It can cause heart disease, as it increases your heart rate, and it is known to harden blood vessels, AKA arteriosclerosis.

The killer in cigarettes is what we know as carcinogens, a chemical that is proven to be linked to cancer. There are 46 discovered CG's in a cigarette's smoke.

Cigarette smoking is known to be the greatest risk factor for lung cancer. Epidemiological evidence has also implicated radon and asbestos as exposures that significantly increase this disease risk; asbestos exposure synergistically enhances the lung cancer risk of smokers. Previous studies of the mutational spectra of the p53 gene in lung cancer have shown cigarette smoke and radon exposure to be associated with the induction of particular lesions or classes of lesions.

Nicotine mainly only causes the addiction and the physical sensations you feel when you smoke a cigarette (nicotine buzz) but what's hurting you are the Carcinogens, and more than anything, the tar. Tar is what causes emphysema as it covers the alveoli of your lungs and leaves your ability to inhale drastically reduced. also, the filtering of oxygen to Co2 is limited, which means your body will not get the oxygen it needs.

Just do yourself a favor and drop the cigs. It is clinically proven that no matter how long you have been smoking, from one year to eighty years, your body is only dependent on nicotine for 72 hours.
After that, it's all in your head.
