Sažetak
Smoking is a serious public health problem, as smoking and passive exposure to tobacco smoke are important risk factors for global morbidity and mortality. It also negatively affects the structure and functionality of the sensory-motor-oral system, disrupting key functions such as breathing, phonation, chewing and swallowing. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the influence of cigarette consumption on olfactory function and compensatory muscle movements during the oral phase of swallowing. 80 respondents participated in the research (40 smokers and 40 respondents who did not consume tobacco products). The research procedure included examination and analysis of the subject's olfactory ability in the form of recognition of presented smells. The compensatory movements of the lip muscles - musculus mentalis and musculus orbicularis oris - were evaluated. The research results showed that smokers have a weak ability of olfactory perception compared to non-smokers, which implies the occurrence of muscle compensation during swallowing.
