Smoking damages the trachea, bronchioles, and alveoli by causing inflammation, increasing mucus production, and impairing the cilia that clear out debris, which leads to reduced airflow and gas exchange. This damage can result in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and increased susceptibility to infections. The impaired respiratory function affects the entire body by reducing oxygen supply to tissues, leading to fatigue, decreased exercise capacity, and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Long-term smoking can also lead to systemic inflammation, affecting overall health and increasing the risk of various chronic conditions.
