Overview
Smoking has an influence upon the immune functions. It can decrease the anti-infectious response in the epithelial surfaces of upper and lower respiratory tract. Allergic and autoimmune diseases can be worsened and tumor cells can escape the diminished immune surveillance. The influence of smoking was described in active and passive smokers.
