Long-Lasting Effects of Smoking on Immunity
New research reveals that smoking has long-lasting effects on the immune system, even years after quitting. Smoking impacts the inflammatory response to bacteria, but this effect is lost after quitting. However, the impact on T cell responses is maintained, even many years after quitting smoking. The study also found associations between smoking and other factors like cytomegalovirus infection and BMI that affect immune responses. Understanding these effects can shed light on various diseases that may be impacted by smoking.
