Smoking effects the longs and contributes to the causes of bronchitis and isnophilia. It does NOT cause anything... but will contribute greatly. The key word in your question is "effects"...
I'm not a doctor... just a Corpsman.

smoking effects your lungs ,but it also effects your ciliated cells.
These cells are found down the trachea. They are cells down the edge of your trachea with hairs on the top called Cilia. These Cilia move mucus, that catch infection, up the trachea and out of the mouth. You have other cells down your trachea, too. Goblet cells. They produce mucus.
Smoking damages the cilia, so the Goblet cells are producing more and more mucus, but it cant go anywhere as the cilia are damaged.
This can resort to bronchitis, smokers cough and emphysema.

There is a lot of research showing that weed/THC is much harder on your lungs than nicotine. THC is stickier, and it is less pure than cigarettes, people can inhale bacteria when they smoke weed. It sounds like your dad might have chronic obstructive lung disease, which definitely can be caused by smoking. Smoking weed is worse. (He also could have asthma, or have been exposed to something bad in the air for a long time, maybe where he works, where he used to live, etc.)

yes cigarette smoke has chemicals that damage the cells that cover the airway(bronchus).in the long term this damage makes it difficult for the bronchus to clear out mucus and eventually there is easy infection and hence bronchitis(infection of the bronchi).Eosinophilia is a situation where certain certain white blood cells called eosinophils increase in number.i dont hink it increases in bronchitis but it increases in bronchial asthma.

How about emphysema and lung cancer and death. If you don't smoke don't start and if you do quit.
