Key Points

The research aims to clarify the relationship between paraseptal emphysema, smoking, and interstitial lung abnormalities.
Investigated the association between smoking and paraseptal emphysema.
Examined the presence of interstitial lung abnormalities in smokers and non-smokers.
Analyses included imaging studies and patient histories.
Paraseptal emphysema was significantly more prevalent in smokers compared to non-smokers.
Participants with interstitial lung abnormalities had a higher incidence of emphysema (p<0.05).
The findings suggest a potential causal link between smoking and the development of lung abnormalities.
