Methods: 161 cases of healthy adults who took physical examination in the medical examination center of our hospital took the pulmonary function testing by MedGraphics 1085D spirometer, and the effects of cigarette smoking on pulmonary function were analyzed. Results: There was a significant difference between nonsmokers and smokers in indexes such as FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC(P0.05), the indexes of the small airway function (FEF50%, FEF75%, MMEF) significantly dropped (P0.01).
