Dr. Sandeep Jain, a pulmonologist at Narayana Hospital, Howrah, explains that prolonged screen time indirectly affects breathing by causing poor posture and inactivity.

The doctor highlights that the position people adopt while using devices can change their breathing patterns, impacting respiratory health.
