Combustion of organic materials releases chloromethane. Chloromethane is nearly 15% of the chlorine containing compounds found in the ozone layer, that is expected to do about 17% of the chlorine-caused damage to the ozone layer. All the tobacco smoke each probably contributes much less than 1% or that. The effect is non-zero and really small. But try to stop if you can. just for your own health. It will be like getting a raise in pay...

EzraSmoke from human activities releases compounds like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which can break down ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere. This breakdown contributes to the thinning of the ozone layer. Additionally, smoke particles can also act as surfaces for chemical reactions that further deplete ozone.

Why is earth becoming thinner due to ozone layer?
Earth is not becoming thinner. The ozone layer is.
What is the risk of a thinner ozone layer?
A thinner ozone layer might lead to more UV entrance. These UV's might cause cataract like problems in humans.
What causes damage the ozone layer?
CFC's cause damage to ozone layer. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What causes the dipletion of ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons
What did the ozone layer look like in the past?
In the past, the ozone layer was healthier and thicker than it is today. Human activities, such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), have led to ozone depletion, resulting in a thinner ozone layer. Efforts to reduce CFC emissions have been made to protect and restore the ozone layer.
