Breathe EasierChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis is a serious lung disease making it difficult for sufferers to do what many take for granted - breathe. As the 6th most common cause of death in Canada, it is mainly caused by smoking or second hand smoke. The #1 treatment is quitting smoking to prevent further damage. The use of "mild" cigarettes or not inhaling is not a treatment strategy. Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or the lung association to help you take a step in the direction of better health. |
