Abstract
Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are harmful to human health and contribute significantly to respiratory diseases. This review explores the multifaceted disruption caused by cigarette smoke in the respiratory system, focusing on its effects on inflammation, oxidative stress, epithelial injury, and immune response alterations. Chronic exposure leads to severe conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. The review underscores the importance of understanding these mechanisms to inform public health strategies aimed at reducing tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. Effective interventions are crucial in mitigating the health impacts associated with cigarette smoke and improving overall respiratory health.
