The worst habit that damages the respiratory system and also shortens life is smoking. Not e-cigarettes, which produce a vaporized nicotine, but regular ones. These produce smoke particles and tar which damage the cilia of the upper tract. These little hair-like projections move mucous that has these particles and tar imbedded in it. These cilia move the dirty mucous up and in to the throat where it is swallowed and then destroyed by the stomach acids.

If the smoke, tar and other dirty particles remain in the lungs, breathing can become very difficult and the very lungs are damaged.
