Cigarette smoking and infection.
Authors
Arcavi, Lidia; Benowitz, Neal L
Abstract
Infectious diseases may rival cancer, heart disease, and chronic lung disease as sources of morbidity and mortality from smoking. We reviewed mechanisms by which smoking increases the risk of infection and the epidemiology of smoking-related infection, and delineated implications of this increased risk of infection among cigarette smokers.
