It’s a matter of life and breath! SMOKING: A BURNING ISSUE Lung Specialist Answers Questions About Smoking and Lung Diseases By Gordon M. Meade, M.D. Director of Medical education National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association Q. Is it too late to stop smoking if you’ve smoked for live years or more? A. No matter how long you've smoked, some of the harm ful effects of smoking begin to reverse themselves the minute you stop smoking. Q. Just what does cigarette smoke do to the lungs? A. For one thing, it paralyzes the cilia, the litile hairlike structures that sw'eep the lungs clean and help ward off infections. The smoke first slows, then stops, and eventually destroys the cilia. It irritates the tissues of the lung and eventually destroys some of them or makes them become cancerous. Q. Can cigarette smoking di rectly cause lung disease? A. Absolutely. Cigarette smok ing is the major cause of chronic bronchitis and lung cancer. Recent research also indicates it is a cause of em physema—at least it is cer tainly a contributing factor. Q. Is it true that there are harmful effects from smok ing just one cigarette? A. There are measurable effects even after a few puffs. In haling hot smoke immediate ly upsets the proper balance of blood and air in your lungs, increases your heart beat, and lowers the temper ature of your skin. Q. Do a smoker’s symptoms get worse the more he smokes? A. Studies show that people who smoked over two packs a day had five times the bron chitis rate of people who smoked less than one-half pack a day. In general, the more you smoke the worse your symptoms get. Q. If someone already has a lung disease, is it dangerous to continue smoking? A. Very dangerous indeed. The risk of early death from bron chitis and emphysema is six times greater for those who smoke. It is ten times greater from lung cancer. Q. Smoking can actually shorten your life? A. Yes. The rate of early death from all causes, in fact, ranges from 40 to 120 per cent higher for smokers than nonsmokers — depending on the amount smoked daily.
