Pulmonary fibrosis is the development of fiberous lung tissue as a result of a lung disease.  It is more apt to happen with chronic lung diseases.  So....the best thing to do is not smoke, wear a mask if you work in a lung hostile environment, eat healthy and exercise daily.  Also, if you have a respiratory illness, get treated for it early.  The quicker you get through a resp illness, the less damage done to your lungs.  This damage can accumulate over the years.

The constant exposure to irritants, tar etc.. causes the alveoli ( the air sacs inside your lungs that expand when you breathe in ) to lose their elasticity...as a result less oxugen is absorbed in these sacs resulting in a shrinking, hardening of these sacs, and a decrease of oxygen intake.  This is why most emphysema patients are on oxygen to help them breathe......This is emphysema

Emphysema begins with the destruction of air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs where oxygen from the air is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the blood. The walls of the air sacs are thin and fragile. Damage to the air sacs is irreversible and results in permanent "holes" in the tissues of the lower lungs.\n\nAs air sacs are destroyed, the lungs are able to transfer less and less oxygen to the bloodstream, causing shortness of breath. The lungs also lose their elasticity, which is important to keep airways open.  The patient experiences great difficulty exhaling.\n\nEmphysema doesn't develop suddenly.  It comes on very gradually. Years of exposure to the irritation of cigarette smoke usually precede the development of emphysema.\n\nA person may initially visit the doctor because he or she has begun to feel short of breath during activity or exercise. As the disease progresses, a brief walk can be enough to bring on difficulty in breathing. Some people may have had chronic bronchitis before developing emphysema.

depends on how long you smoked but probably never doesnt mean you shouldnt. dont make things worse; a million other side effects besides your lung damage will be avoided.

Pneumonia is caused by a bacteria, a virus or by aspiration which is when you have inhaled something into the lungs. Smoking itself will not cause pneumonia but your lungs will be compromised and irritated and it might be more difficult to recover.

Never do smoking, avoid any food that causes cough or any chest infection. Take balanced diet. Never exert because that will cause discomfort & may result in chest pain. Avoid polluted environment. Whenever get cold or any chest infection immediately take medicines with doctor's advise.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi (the main air passages of the lungs), it can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually the result of an infection and can be treated with antibiotics. Chronic bronchitis can result from smoking, constant exposure to dust or other pollutants and is treated with steroid inhalers to help reduce the inflammation.

immune systen is the defense system of the body and inflammation is a way of responding to various harmful stimuli. it is mediated at the cellular level and it involves a lot of complex processes and chemicals like histamine and the like. i think its bronchoconstriction that ur talking about, ya it could be inherited, environmental and immunological. Asthma is a good example.

our skin is our first external defence, providing a barrior between the bacteria and our bodies. Another defence is flem, the stuff that comes out when you blow your nose. it captures dirt and bacteria on it's way to the lungs and gets rid of them either by taking it down to the stomach and a nice acid bath, or your cough it up and get rid of it completly.\nan obvious internal defence is the antibodies and white blood cells of the immune system.

pneumonia is caused by a bacteria, so u need to acquire the bacteria in the first place.  smoking will cause damage to the alveoli causing fibrosis and build up of mucus along the cilia lining.  so smoking increases your risk by making you more susceptable to bacterial invasion

A pathological condition of the lungs marked by an abnormal increase in the size of the air spaces, resulting in labored breathing and an increased susceptibility to infection. It can be caused by irreversible expansion of the alveoli or by the destruction of alveolar walls. \n\nEmphysema in it self very rarely is life threatening, generally infections or trapping of air causes risk to the life. Weight loose is common in this condition, but you dont bother about fat. \n\nJust maintain a healthy life style, do daily brisk walk- initially for 10 min and then increase it to max of 30 min. Have a good protein and carb rich diet, avoid smoking, alcohol, fast food, soft drinks and add raw veggies in your diet. I have not seen any body die from emphysema rather i have seen many people enjoying their life with it

General exercise such as running and aerobics increase lung volume.\nPractice will also dramatically improve how long you can hold your breath.

chest muscles or still some kind of lung inflammation.Take a asprin an see if it goes away if so see a doc
