This is something that my students very often have trouble describing. Can you explain the difference and put it into context? Good luck!
That's true to say that affect is a verb and effect is a noun (that's the easy part!)
However your sentences need some corrections, "Smoking affects our health in a very negative manner." Also "The effect of smoking is bad for our health." Good effort in answering though! Can anyone else give us some examples of these words being used in the correct context?
Something affects us when it has an influence on us.
For example: "What you eat affects your health".
Effect is used to describe when one thing bring about change in another thing.
"Smoking has a negative effect on your health".
The words a, an, the, any, some, no, take, and into are commonly used with effect.
"Lecturing me and telling me what to do has no effect on me".
