Is smoking considered a statistically significant contributor to diabetes?

Diabetes - March 5, 2010

Does anyone know of any sources indicating smoking as a causation for diabetes?
Statistically speaking smokers are slimmer than the rest of the population by about 10 lbs. I know some huge smokers myself…that’s not the point.
