“…These alterations can significantly increase the risk of respiratory complications, such as infections, and respiratory symptoms. 22,29,30 Habesoglu et al 10 found similar results to the present study; however, the individuals evaluated in their study were younger and had a higher frequency of exposure to cigarette smoke (Ͼ10 cigarettes/d). In the present study, it was observed that even lower levels of exposure are able to promote damage in mucociliary clearance.…”

“…There is only one study about the relationship between passive smoking and NMC in the literature. In this study conducted by Habesoğlu et al, they found that both active and passive smoking increased nasal MCC time when compared with healthy controls [7]. In our study, we found that MMC in passive smoking group and active smoking group were significantly longer than the healthy controls.…”

“…The association of smoking and NMC has been studied; however, the correlation of passive smoking and NMC has not been clearly documented yet. Although many studies have investigated the association of smoking and NMC [4][5][6], there is only one study investigating the relationship between passive smoking and NMC [7]. Because of insufficient data about the relationship between passive smoking and NMC, we aimed to investigate the effect of passive and active smoking on NMC by comparing the results of age and sex matched healthy individuals, passive and active smokers.…”
