This document provides information about the effects of smoking and common respiratory diseases. It begins by explaining that smoking can cause cancer, stroke, and lung diseases like COPD, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. It then lists and briefly describes common respiratory diseases including asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and pleural effusion. For each disease, it gives a short definition and the main symptoms or causes. The document concludes by stating that air pollution irritates people's breathing.

Answer: Can cause cancer,
stroke and disease. most cases of lung cancer. Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking] include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes What are the common diseases of respiratory system? 3.)Common diseases •Asthma •Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) •Chronic Bronchitis •Emphysema •Lung Cancer •Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis •Pneumonia •Pleural Effusion Asthma Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance. Chronic pulmonary Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease. Having COPD makes it hard to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD:Chronic bronchi tis, which involves a long- term cough with mucus. Emphysema, which involves damage to the lungs over Chronic Bronchitis Chronic bronchitis is one type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The inflamed bronchial tubes produce a lot of mucus. This leads to coughing and difficulty breathing. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause. Breathing in air pollution, fumes, or dust over a long period of time may also cause it. Emphysema Emphysema is a type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. As a result, your body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard to catch your breath. You may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing during exercise. The most common cause is cigarette smoking. Lung Cancer Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth can spread beyond the lung by the process of metastasis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. Cystic fibrorsis Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. The body produces thick and sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas.Cystic fibrosis (CF) can be life- threatening, and people with the condition tend to have a shorter-than-normal life span. Pneumonia Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Bacterial pneumonia is the most common type in adults. Pneumonia causes inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs, which are called alveoli. The alveoli fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult to breathe Pleural effusion Pleural effusion, sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleuraoutside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing. How pullution affects the respiratory system? 3.)P ollution Answer: Irritates people’s breathing. Pollution is something introduced into the environment that is dirty, unclean or has a harmful effect. Toxic waste dumped into the water is an example of pollution.
