(CNN) — Smoking tobacco is so harmful to the body that it changes a person’s immune system, leaving them vulnerable to more disease and infection even years after they’ve quit,

The study also found that the more someone smoked, the more it changed their immune response.

A case in Oregon is a rarity in the United States. It is not expected to spread. But this ancient and deadly disease remains a threat around the world.

In their quest to detect early outbreaks, virus hunters are sampling environmental DNA in water, dirt, and air.

New evidence shows that the impacts of smoking on the body are even more profound and longer-lasting than researchers had realized.

Like other factors such as age, sex and genetics, smoking has a major impact on immune responses. This is the finding recently made by a team of scientists at the Institut Pasteur using the Milieu Intérieur cohort of 1,000 healthy volunteers, established to understand variability in immune responses.
