Quit Smoking

Quitting smoking is probably the best way to prevent COPD from developing or worsening. Tobacco products are the main trigger of this condition, which accounts for up to 80% to 90% of all deaths related to COPD. While it is not simple to quit smoking, there are many options to help with this task. You can ask your healthcare provider for some medical drugs or natural remedies. A simple way that many people often try is to chew gums. Whenever you feel the need for tobacco, just put a gum inside the mouth and start chewing. [4]
