• secondly, killing ciliary cells, nicotine provokes chronic inflammation of the bronchi epithelium and violates the mechanism of natural cleansing of the organ

If, when the first symptoms of inflammation of the bronchi appear, the refusal of smoking does not follow and the appropriate treatment does not occur, the process takes the chronic form, and this is fraught with:

• aggravation of inflammatory and controversial changes in the bronchi
