Certainly wind players have no other lungs than other people, and the author is right in saying that it's the way they use them (i.e. the respiratory muscles) that makes the difference. Vital capacity and „tidal volume“ can be improved by training or, on the other hand, reduced by inflammatory diseases, emphysema, silicosis etc.
If there was found no difference in respiratory parameters between wind instrument players and other people I couldn't imagine that there was „a lot of inflammation, a lot of damage“ in their lungs.
