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.
it reduces the swelling
The trachea is in your throat area. When you inhale, all the bad things from the tobacco (or whatever you my smoke) gets into your trachea. Smoking is VERY bad for you. DON'T YOU EVER START, and if you have, YOU BETTER QUIT IN ABOUT 3 SECONDS.cancer???im gussing your in my health class
walls become narrower
It's impossible to say. Smoking is one of MANY things which can affect the alveoli. The lungs of a smoker and a non-smoker are difficult to tell apart. On the other hand, a diseased lung looks very different to an undiseased one. If you are are shown a photo of a 'smoker's lung', it's most probably the diseased lung of a pig.
*IT* Doesnt Emphyesma is when alveoli die. how does it affect them... Well it would affect them like it affects every other cell in the body. (decreased O2) but it acually doesnt affect the alveoli it just happens when they die
Yes

The general knowledge history about emphysema is doctors guessed that it was connected to smoking. However, after the 1970s, researchers understood that emphysema is caused by any number of lung irritants that affect the lungs, especially the alveoli.
Pneumonia generally leads to an inflammation of the trachea. Because Pneumonia can affect the respiratory system, it may lead to increased phlegm or fluid in the trachea.
smoking kills.
smoking does not affect on the sense of touch according to smoking and while touching something it actually helps you guess right than bad answer so it does not affect.
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
