Smoking has an effect on allergic rhinitis.
Smoking may affect the nasal mucosal environment and aggravate the development of allergic rhinitis, so it is recommended that people with allergic rhinitis should actively quit smoking.
Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergic rhinitis, refers to the chronic inflammatory reaction of the nasal mucosa due to contact with dust mites, pollen, animal dander and other allergens, such as rhinitis, sneezing, runny nose and so on.
Therefore, we should pay attention to avoid contact with various allergens, and the smoke produced by smoking contains nicotine, nitrogen oxides, sulfur-containing compounds and other harmful gases, which may lead to a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, aggravating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Harmful substances contained in smoking smoke can easily damage the nasal mucosa, leading to dryness or edema of the nasal mucosa, a decline in the function of the nasal mucosal cilia, a decline in the ability of the nasal cavity to self-cleaning, and an increase in the risk of infection in the nasal cavity, which will promote the development of allergic rhinitis.
Therefore, it is recommended that people with allergic rhinitis should actively quit smoking.
