And can anyone please correct this sentence for me? I think something goes wrong here but I have no idea how to rewrite it.
Doctors claim that smoking is as important as a cause of death as the great epidemic diseases such as bubonic plague.
Thank you very much in advance!

It's not wrong, but I think it would read better without the second as.
Doctors claim that smoking is as important a cause of death as the great epidemic diseases, such as bubonic plague.
Alternatively, you could rewrite it. How about:
Doctors claim that smoking has caused as many deaths as the great epidemic diseases, such as bubonic plague.
