Abstract in brief

  • Smoking causes the respiratory organs like airway cells and lungs to age faster, with an increase of about 4 to 5 years.
  • Quitting smoking can slow down the accelerated aging in airway cells, bringing their epigenetic age closer to that of nonsmokers, though this effect was not observed in lung tissue.
  • The impact of smoking on epigenetic age does not differ between men and women, highlighting the universal harmful effect of tobacco on respiratory aging.]
