This article, published in the National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy & Pharmacology, discusses the impact of tobacco smoking on pulmonary function. The study found that smokers had lower spirometric variables, such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), compared to non-smokers. The reduction in lung function was also proportional to the number of years the person had been smoking. The article emphasizes the importance of early detection and support for asymptomatic smokers, as early cessation is linked to improved survival. [Extracted from the article] |
