TOBACCO SMOKING AS A PREDICTOR OF BRONCHIAL HYPERRESPONSIVENESS IN TEENAGERS AND YOUNG MEN

Abstract

There were examinated 120 young men and teenagers. Some of them are active (53 persons) and others are passive (67 persons) smokers. All patients have hyperreactivity of bronchus but only 33,3% have bronchial obstruction. We show that active smokers' patients have early signs of chronic bronchitis, "smokers' cough" and reversible obstruction.
