Bronchitis
- B.
Ear infection
- C.

Correct Answer
A. BronchitisExplanation
Bronchitis is a disease caused by smoking. Smoking irritates and inflames the bronchial tubes, leading to the development of bronchitis. This condition is characterized by a persistent cough, difficulty breathing, and excessive mucus production. Smoking damages the cilia in the bronchial tubes, impairing their ability to clear mucus and bacteria from the lungs. This allows harmful substances to build up, leading to infection and inflammation. Therefore, bronchitis is directly linked to smoking and is considered one of the many respiratory diseases caused by this harmful habit.Rate this question:

From there, it is carried to the brain where it binds to nicotine receptors, triggering the release of various neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which produces pleasurable sensations and reinforces the addictive nature of smoking.Rate this question:
