Biomechanics of breathing in young smokers
It is known that one of the main causes contributing to the development of chronic bronchitis, as well as pulmonary emphysema, is smoking. We followed up 66 healthy men from 17 to 34 years old who had no contact with occupational hazards. The examined subjects were subdivided into 2 groups - smokers (31 persons) and nonsmokers (35), which differed little from each other by age and occupation. Smokers consumed at least 6 cigarettes (cigarettes) per day for 6.5 years.
