Summary
Smoking occurs frequently in patients with asthma. Recent surveys on smoking prevalence
report 21-26% current smokers in populations of patients with asthma. Detrimental effects of
active smoking in asthma include worse asthma control, an impaired response to
corticosteroids and accelerated lung function decline.
