AB  - Cigarette smoking is a major risk to the overall burden of disease in developed 
      countries. Smoking influences disease development, disease outcome and 
      therapeutic success. Cigarettes with low tar, which do less harm, do not exist, 
      nor there is a safe level of smoking. Passive smoking is involuntary inhalation 
      of tobacco smoke. Environmental tobacco smoke is the second most common cause of 
      carcinogen exposure. Passive smoking, whether prenatal or postnatal in children, 
      increases the likelihood of asthma, similar as in adults. Active smoking 
      increases total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level and inflammatory cell infiltration, 
      especially eosinophils. Tobacco smoking increases bronchial hyperreactivity. 
      Clinical picture of asthma in smokers is more severe in terms of symptoms, with 
      more frequent exacerbations and invasive intubation with increased mortality rate 
      than in asthmatics nonsmokers. Smokers have a higher prevalence of allergic 
      rhinitis and atopic dermatitis.
