Inflammatory impact of cigarette smoking on bone function and structure; a review of evidence
Cigarette smoking represents a major lifestyle risk factor for bone loss and skeletal disorders, with complex etiological mechanisms consisting both direct tissue effects and systemic alterations. Recent evidence demonstrates that tobacco smoking triggers an intricate cascade of cellular and molecular events that disrupts the delicate balance of bone remodeling, finally leading to decreased bone mass and increased fracture risk.
