Smoking is associated with increased severity of new-onset asthma in allergic adults [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], research shows.
Writing in the journal Respiratory Research [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Riccardo Polosa (University of Catania [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Italy) and colleagues observe: "Although factors such as gender [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], atopy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], duration of asthma [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bronchial hyperresponsiveness [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and frequent asthma exacerbations appear to be important determinants of the severe asthma phenotype [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the association between common modifiable risk factors such as cigarette smoking and asthma severity has received surprisingly little attention."
For the current study [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the researchers examined the influence of smoking on the severity of new-onset asthma among 371 adults with allergic rhinitis who were followed up for 10 years.
Of the 152 patients who developed asthma during follow up [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 74 (48.7%) were current smokers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 17 (11.2%) were former smokers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and 61 (40.1%) had never smoked.
NaturalNews) U.K. officials have come up with a new proposition they say may help deter smoking: make cigarette packaging plain. Starting next year [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], government authorities in the U.K. will require cigarette manufacturers to block cigarette displays in stores to protect children. But now they are considering asking manufacturers to make cigarette boxes a simple brown or gray color in order to eliminate the glitz factor that attracts young people to smoke.
"The evidence is clear that packaging helps to recruit smokers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so it makes sense to consider having less attractive packaging [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," explained Health Secretary Andrew Lansley to BBC News. "It's wrong that children are being attracted to smoke by glitzy designs on packets."
