  • irritation of the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box) 
  • reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways and excess mucus in the lung passages 
  • impairment of the lungs’ clearance system, leading to the build-up of poisonous substances, which results in lung irritation and damage 
  • increased risk of lung infection and symptoms such as coughing and wheezing 
  • permanent damage to the air sacs of the lungs.

In fact, smoking is directly responsible for almost 90% of lung cancer and COPD deaths. Even with antismoking campaigns and health warnings, many people continue to smoke or start to smoke every year. About 8% of kids under age 18 are current tobacco users.]]> 2020-10-06 11:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cabarrubiasjulieanns/qwoocnsy1p4z9ddu/wish/806247559 Risks linked to smoking cabarrubiasjulieanns https://padlet.com/cabarrubiasjulieanns/qwoocnsy1p4z9ddu/wish/806249506 Smokers increase their risk of lung disease, including lung cancer. But they also increase their risk of other illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and mouth (oral) cancer. Risks from smoking, as they relate to lung disease, include the following:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This includes:

  • Chronic bronchitis. This is a long-term (chronic) inflammation of the large airways (bronchi). Symptoms include coughing mucus over a long period.

  • Emphysema. This chronic lung condition affects the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue, sleep and heart problems, weight loss, and depression.

Lung cancer. This is an abnormal growth of cells that can result in lumps, masses, or tumors. It may start in the lining of the bronchi, or other areas of the respiratory system. Smoking, including secondhand smoke, is the leading cause of lung cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer include:

  • Cough

  • Chest pain

  • Shortness of breath

  • Wheezing

  • Recurring lung infections

  • Bloody or rust-colored sputum

  • Hoarseness

  • Swelling of the neck and face

  • Pain and weakness in the shoulders, arms, or hands

  • Unexplained fever

Other cancers. Smoking increases the risk of lung and oral cancer. But it also increases the risk of other respiratory system cancers. These include cancer of the nose, sinuses, voice box, and throat. Smoking also increases the risk of many other cancers of GI (gastrointestinal), urinary, and female reproductive systems.

The symptoms of smoking-related lung diseases may look like other lung conditions or health problems. If you have any symptoms of lung disease, see your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
