Smoking dramatically increases risks for a great many kinds of cancer, including breast, prostate and colon, dramatically increases the risks of heart disease, dramatically increases the risks of diabetes and stroke, etc. If smoking dramatically increases the risk of breast cancer, why don't they list it on risk assessment?

I'm not sure I know the answer. But the link between breast cancer and tobacco use is firm. This
excellent study of 116,000 women found a 32% increase in breast cancer rates among smokers. If you want links to other studies, I'd be happy to provide them.
