How is smoking related to atherosclerosis?

This is for my science homework. Pretty gay, but anyways do you think you know the answer? I need help!

Smoking is related to everything. Smoking/smokers disgust the hell out of me. Do they know what they're doing to their bodies? Smells and feels horrible.

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and the leading cause of smoking-related death as well. The toxins in cigarette smoke promote plaque formation in the arteries, which leads to atherosclerosis, otherwise known as hardening of the arteries.

Hope help u well;p
goodluck!
