The pulmonary doctor confirmed that there are no healthy airways for smokers. The reason is that in smokers, the eyelashes in the respiratory tract are paralyzed by exposure to cigarette smoke, making them susceptible to infection. So, is there a way you can still try to clean smokers’ lungs, for example by consuming certain foods?
Friendship Hospital Pulmonary Specialist and Chair of the Infection Working Group of the Central Directorate of the Indonesian Lung Physicians Association (PDPI), Dr. Erlina Burhan, SpP (K), explained that there are hairs in the respiratory tract vibrating “lashes” that work to remove germs, bacteria, viruses and dirt that enters. Due to exposure to cigarette smoke, eyelashes become paralyzed. As a result, smokers become susceptible to infections.
“Cigarette smoke irritates the airways. So the airways have mucosa. So if it’s irritated, it’s red and swollen. If it’s swollen, it’s inflamed. Inflammation produces fluid. Fluid in the airways is not allowed. It must be removed, “he said when met by detikcom in South Jakarta, We (15/9/2022).
