Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which tobacco smoking problem can be solved.

Introduction: Smoking affects respiration as they damage alveoli when cigarette smoke is inhaled for prolonged time period. As a result, the alveoli are unable to take part in gas exchange. There are approximately 300 million alveoli that provide large surface area for performing gas exchange. So, if alveoli are damaged due to smoking, the surface area for gas exchange would be decreased, which would cause problems in the breathing process.
