Calcium is necessary for bone mineralization, and with less bone mineral, smokers develop fragile bones (osteoporosis).

Nicotine in cigarettes reduces the production of bone-forming cells and decreases the absorption of calcium from the diet, leading to weaker and more fragile bones in smokers. This can ultimately result in osteoporosis.
