According to Healthline and studies from the American Lung Association, the following popular habits are causing serious damage to the lungs if maintained for a long time.

Cooking with coal, firewood or gas in unventilated spaces causes the lungs to be exposed to CO and NO2 - factors that cause respiratory inflammation.
2. Low motivation
Laziness of exercise causes reduced lung capacity, poor gas exchange. People who sit too much and do not exercise are prone to shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.
3. takes a wrong breath
Shortness of breath, breathing through your mouth instead of your nose increases the amount of dirt entering your lungs and limits the natural air filtration process.
4. Abuse of room spray, cleaning chemicals
Many products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which cause lung irritation, asthma and can temporarily damage lung tissue.
