Don't Let Your Health Go Up in Smoke
The Negative Effects of Smoke
Smoking is harmful to your health, even if you don’t have any breathing problems. But for people with asthma, smoking can trigger their symptoms and make them much worse, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI). This is because asthma makes your airways especially sensitive to any foreign substances, and the least exposure can cause them to react by contracting and going into a full-blown asthma attack.
Further, smoking can damage your celia, which are the tiny hair-like mechanisms that work to sweep your airways of dust and mucus and keep them clear. When these don’t function properly, your lungs are at greater risk of causing your asthma to kick in.
The Risk of Second-Hand Smoke
These facts make it essential that you quit smoking and take care of yourself. But keep in mind that quitting may not even be enough alone, if you are also regularly exposed to other people’s smoke. Consider the fact that the most harmful parts of a cigarette will burn off in the air (rather than into a smoker’s lungs), causing a hazard for those nearby to inhale. This means that passive cigarette smoke can be harmful to your health even if you never take a puff.
The Littlest Victims
Further, the sensitive lungs of young children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects that come with breathing in other’s smoke. In fact, kids with asthma who are regularly exposed to tobacco smoke will be sicker more frequently while they are young and may even experience compromised lung function when they become adults...
