COPD and Lung Health

Tobacco control

Tobacco control is a critical aspect of managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) because cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. COPD encompasses conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, characterized by progressive airflow limitation and difficulty breathing. Controlling tobacco use is central to preventing and managing COPD. Multifaceted approaches that combine public health policies, clinical interventions, and community engagement are crucial for reducing the burden of COPD associated with tobacco smoking.
