Diseases of the airways increase and are of eminent social- and public health-care interest. As essential exogen noxious substance for cause in etiology is smoking considered. Incidence for bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer due to smoking is between 85 to 90%. Changes in the respiratory tract through smoking are also measureable function disturbances. They are more intensely than in dust-exposed nonsmoking workers. Also in passive smokers you can find such disturbances, the additional cancer risk is increased. Smoking is further one cause for centrilobular emphysema. Great international studies refer smoking as essential noxious substance for lung cancer. The minimal therapeutic success underlines the importance of early diagnosis, risk groups, significant etiologic factors, operability, chemo- and radiation-therapy. The early mortality for heavy smokers was ascertained up to 12.3 years lifetime-shortening. Overall the reason is adequate and serious enough to draw the attention to the effects of smoking to the respiratory tract besides tobacco-associated diseases of other organs with all emphasis and to make all efforts against this noxious substance.
