The specialist and medical director of Linde Médica, Dr. Sandra Vañes, has pointed out that smokers have a higher rate of apnea-hypopnea and lower blood oxygen levels at night, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Smoking increases the frequency and intensity of obstructive sleep apnea episodes by producing chronic inflammation in the upper airways, which affects 15 percent of adults and has consequences such as daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, and increased cardiovascular risk.
