A new study published in Nature reveals that smoking has a long-lasting negative impact on the immune system, affecting specific immune responses even after quitting. The study, involving 1,000 individuals, shows that smoking increases inflammatory responses to bacteria and alters T cell responses, with the inflammatory effect disappearing after quitting but the T cell response persisting for years.

Environmental factors can have a huge impact on our immune defences. Here we wrote a @NatureNV piece on a population cohort exploring the external factors that can have short and long term impact on our immune responses. Smoking again is the culprit. https://t.co/XOu1m8MHK1
It emerges from a study of human cells that smoking can influence certain immune responses to the same extent as can age or genetics. Smoking can alter the immune system in ways that persist long after quitting the habit https://t.co/BSc5gaI41l

Curious how smoking affects immunity? delighted to share our @Nature study we show smoking increases inflammatory response to bacteria & specific T cell responses, inflammatory effect is lost upon smoking cessation but T cell response maintained for years https://t.co/S80dVbwNdb https://t.co/TdGBZr6PgZ
