Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Conventionally, smoking-related interstitial lung disease embraces the entities known to have a strong epidemiological association with smoking: Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) Respiratory-bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD) Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) (e1)

: Cigarette smoke is itself an inflammatory mediator and

induces pulmonary inflammation by damaging the respiratory epithelial barrier, thereby facilitating repeated infections (31).
