Asthma Risk for Smoking Teens


A study was done on teenagers who smoke and it showed that there's more risk of your lungs not working as well, and developing asthma symptoms.

Here the most important points from the study:
15.2% of the teen smokers they studied reported wheezing.

20.4% were wheezing after exercising.

Compare this to 8.5% and 10.7%, respectively, of non-smoking teens.

...

Smokers had poorer lung function than non-smokers
