Impact of smoking behaviors on asthma incidence and all-cause mortality in middle-aged and older adults: A longitudinal study from China
The increased risk of asthma onset among middle-aged and older adults due to adolescent smoking initiation was independent of cumulative smoking pack-years, even though low pack-years and long-term smoking also contribute to increased risk. Targeted smoking cessation programs, especially adolescent prevention, are crucial to reduce asthma burden in this population.
