Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Smoking cessation
If you smoke, the best thing you can do for your lungs and overall health, is to quit.
Quitting smoking is hard but it may be reassuring to know that most people diagnosed with severe COPD do succeed.
For help, call the national QUIT line on at 137 848 or speak to your doctor.
This video offers first-hand experiences from people living with COPD. Participants discuss their experience of successfully quitting smoking and share the strategies they used.
