Venial sins are like Sins Lite. The don't produce a permanent break with God, you can still receive the Eucharist, etc. Mortal sins are the biggies. You can't receive the Eucharist without first going to Reconciliation, and if you die first I think the teaching is that you spend eternity in the Smoking Section.
