Iron imbalance locally in the lung thus results in higher risk of infection. Hemosiderin is the iron storage in smoker's macrophage rather than ferritin. It is formed during hemorrhage or abnormal metabolism of ferritin. [14] [15] Indeed, buildup of iron causes oxidative stress resulting in lung damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. [13]
6.5 years = 2,374 days and 56,976 hours, or 3,418,560 minutes. 5,772 cigarettes per year for 54 years = 311,688 cigarettes. 3,418,560/311,688=11 minutes per cigarette.
Smoke inhalation is the breathing in of harmful fumes (produced as by-products of combusting substances) through the respiratory tract. [1] This can cause smoke inhalation injury (subtype of acute inhalation injury) which is damage to the respiratory tract caused by chemical and/or heat exposure, as well as possible systemic toxicity after smoke inhalation.
It is caused by cigarette smoking. [1] [2] The term SRIF was coined by Dr. Anna-Luise Katzenstein (a pathologist) and colleagues in 2010 in a study of lung specimens surgically removed for lung cancer. [3] Since then, other investigators have confirmed the same abnormality in the lungs of a subset of smokers. [4] [5]

An Instagram post claims lung damage from COVID-19 infection can be much worse than from smoking. This is true. Fact check: COVID-19 can cause worse lung damage than smoking
Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that begins in the lung. Lung cancer is caused by genetic damage to the DNA of cells in the airways, often caused by cigarette smoking or inhaling damaging chemicals. Damaged airway cells gain the ability to multiply unchecked, causing the growth of a tumor.
