Abstract: Background– Smoking is a well-documented health hazard, linked to various diseases affecting nearly every organ in the body. While the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are commonly discussed about smoking, its impact on sensory functions, specifically vision and hearing, is less emphasized. Both visual and auditory systems are highly sensitive to oxidative stress and vascular damage, which are central effects of smoking. Smoking contributes to a range of sensory impairments, from subtle functional declines to more serious conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and hearing loss.
