[Effects of smoking on the cellular mechanisms in the respiratory system].
Devastating effects of smoking on the respiratory system are commonly acknowledged. However, detailed knowledge of the responsible mechanisms is insufficient to allow early diagnosis and effective treatment of the smoking-related pathologies. This paper presents a review of key processes occuring in the smokers' lungs, particularly these responsible for the persistent inflammatory response and neoplastic transformation.
