While apoptosis has long been recognized as the dominant form of cell death resulting from CS exposure, recent findings highlight pyroptosis\u2014a caspase-1 (CASP-1)-dependent, pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death\u2014as a key pathological mechanism. Pyroptosis is characterized by gasdermin D cleavage, pore formation in the cell membrane, and the release of inflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin-1\u03b2 and interleukin-18.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2024, identified through searches in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

This mechanism exacerbates chronic pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema and also plays a role in extrapulmonary conditions including atherosclerosis, liver dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Inhibitors of CASP-1 and inflammasome components, as well as natural bioactive compounds, have shown potential in suppressing pyroptotic pathways and alleviating CS-induced tissue damage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pyroptosis represents a critical inflammatory pathway in CS-induced diseases.

By synthesizing recent scientific evidence, it underscores the involvement of pyroptotic pathways in the pathogenesis of tobacco-related diseases, highlighting their contribution to tissue damage and disease progression. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms may facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets aimed at mitigating the detrimental health effects of cigarette smoke. These insights could further inform the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies to alleviate the inflammatory burden associated with chronic cigarette exposure.<\/jats:p>\n
