A recent study has unveiled that smoking triggers epigenetic alterations in human tissues, mimicking aging processes such as DNA hypermethylation. These changes extend beyond the lungs, impacting the pancreas, thyroid, esophagus, and various brain regions. Notably, some of these changes persist irreversibly even after cessation of smoking. This groundbreaking finding aids in the identification of smoking-associated biomarkers, thereby furnishing a solid scientific foundation for risk assessment and the development of targeted intervention strategies.
