Abstract
Respiratory bronchiolitis associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD) and desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) are viewed as a continuum of smoking-induced diseases. Another smoking-related condition, respiratory bronchiolitis (RB), is usually found in asymptomatic smokers and a few ex-smokers. It is unclear whether it is a disease entity or a normal response to smoking.
