Hi,
You have a higher risk of developing any kind of disease that you can think of, just because you are a smoker and that too a heavy smoker. All kinds of cancers, lung diseases, heart disease, brain stroke, hypertension, diabetes etc are more common in smokers. You should quit or at least cut down as much as possible.
Best wishes.
