Smoking harms individuals with asthma. Exposure to secondhand smoke increases asthma risk in children, while active smoking worsens lung function and mortality in adults with asthma. Quitting smoking is crucial for asthma management.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cigarette smoking is a known health risk, particularly for individuals with asthma.
  • Asthma management is complicated by environmental and personal smoking habits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the effects of active and passive smoking on asthma inception and outcomes.
  • To examine longitudinal changes in lung function and mortality related to smoking in asthma patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on smoking and asthma.
  • Analysis of data concerning environmental tobacco smoke exposure and active smoking in asthma patients.

Main Results:

  • Maternal smoking and environmental tobacco smoke exposure are risk factors for childhood asthma.

  • Passive smoking in asthma patients correlates with increased symptom severity, reduced quality of life, diminished lung function, and higher healthcare utilization.
  • Active smoking is linked to poorer lung function trajectories and increased asthma-related mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Smoking cessation is critically important for patients with asthma.
    • Protecting individuals with asthma from environmental tobacco smoke is essential for improving health outcomes.
