👉 Tobacco infection, often referred to as tobacco-induced infection, is a condition that arises from prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke or other irritants associated with tobacco use, such as secondhand smoke. This condition can manifest in various ways, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and infections of the respiratory tract. Tobacco smoke contains numerous harmful chemicals that damage lung tissue and impair immune function, making the body more susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Symptoms can range from persistent coughs and shortness of breath to more severe respiratory issues. Preventive measures, such as quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke, are crucial in reducing the risk of developing tobacco-induced infections.
