harmful vs unhealthy

Smoking is harmful.

Is it possible to replace "harmful" with "unhealthy"?
If not, what's the difference?
Could you show me some examples how to use them?

Masanori Takaoka Is it possible to replace "harmful" with "unhealthy"? That is a much better choice, actually. 'Harmful' all but requires 'to your health' as an adverbial.
