Smoking damages lungs in many ways as the irritating effect of cigarette smoke attracts cells to the lungs that cause inflammation. According to the head of pulmonology department, Liaquat University of Medicine and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Dr Rashid Ahmed Khan, cigarette smoke also stimulated inflammatory cells to release elastics, an enzyme that broke down elastic fibres in lung tissue.
