%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Smoking is the primary risk factor for a poor prognosis in chronic respiratory disease (CRD). Current tobacco surveillance efforts in China focus on the general population and do not adequately cover CRD patients.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We employed electronic medical records (EMR) to track smoking habits in 28,334 hospitalized CRD patients at Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital. The rates of former and current smokers were 30.7% and 18.0%, respectively. Both former and current smokers exhibited an increased risk of respiratory symptoms and extended hospital stays.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>These results underscore the importance of implementing smoking monitoring and targeted cessation interventions for hospitalized patients with CRDs.
