Smoking also kills enzymes and causes your immune system to weaken & when the res blood cells are in need of nourishment, [white blood cells were killed for smoking too much] there are no WBC's to aid them.
Secondary Immune Response is more rapid.
When mixed with an immunogen, it enhances the immune response against the immunogen
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigens, which are foreign substances that trigger an immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens to help neutralize or eliminate them from the body, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
when it an infection or something gets past the first immune response then your body uses a different response or after immunisation

Smoking does hurt your immune system and can prolong healing.
Protein inflammation can affect the body's immune response by triggering the release of inflammatory molecules that can activate immune cells. This can lead to an overactive immune response, causing chronic inflammation and potentially damaging healthy tissues.
