Answer:
yes

the asthmatic lung is less able to clean itself- so the tars (the cancerogenic parts of the smoke) stay longer and do greater damage.

another likely side-effect is chronic obstructive lung disease

Answer:
depends on whether the asthma is treated and controlled. If the asthma is well controlled so that airway remodeling and scarring has not/is not occuring then a smoker with asthma has no higher risk. If the person has airway remodeling or scarring then their risk (whether they smoke or not) is increased for both COPD and lung cancer.
