Describe the effects of smoking on respiratory system?

Answer 1

Damage to the respiratory system is caused mostly through irritation of its mucus lining. If irritation persists, it can lead to chronic bronchitis which is where irreversible damage occurs. That is a COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, it can even lead to lung cancer or emphysema.

Answer 2

Looking at the respiratory system is a look at one of the most vital systems of our body. Depriving a person of this system will kill them quicker than most. The respiratory system is comprised of three parts: intake (mouth and nose), travel (trachea), and factory (lungs). We take in air from our mouth or nose. The nose is our predominate way of taking in air. It has little hairs that filter many of the items that can hurt us.

With one drag on a cigarette over 4000 chemicals are released into almost every system of your body. Nicotine is only one of the many chemicals that are working against your entire body. When the chemicals enter the mouth and trachea, it irritates them and leaves minor chemical burns as it travels down. This is the reason many people complain about sore throats and pain when they first began smoking. Given enough burns on the trachea and voice box, it will scar them for life, giving the smoker the "smoker's voice" and cancer of the throat as these chemicals slowly burn a path. When this chemical cocktail spills into your lungs as a breath of air, it immediately attacks the cilia. These little hairs are burned and stunted, and are no longer able to do their job.

Answer 3

The effects of tobacco smoke on the respiratory system include:

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.

Along with nicotine, smokers also inhale about 4,000 other chemicals in cigarette smoke. Many of these compounds are chemically active and trigger profound and damaging changes in the body. There are over 60 known cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke. Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many diseases and reducing health in general.
