*Animal Study | |||
*In this study, the effect of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on allergen-immunized and allergen-specific Th2 cell-transferred murine eosinophilic inflammation models and that of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and nicotine on allergen-induced Th2 cell proliferation and interleukin (IL)-4 production were investigated. | |||
*In summary, ETS suppressed allergen-induced nasal responses including NHR by inhibiting allergen-specific Th2 cell responses. Although our present findings do not deny harmful effects of cigarette smoking, nicotine as a component of ETS may be a target to treat Th2-mediated allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis (AR). | |||

*Our results suggest that smoking may be causally related to a higher risk of asthma and a slightly lower risk of hay fever. However, the adverse events associated with smoking limit its clinical significance. | *Our results suggest that smoking may be causally related to a higher risk of asthma and a slightly lower risk of hay fever.
