[pic] [intro]
Need more reason to quit?
Every year, smoking kills more people globally than Aids and tuberculosis combined. We take a look at the risks of this destructive habit.
If I have COPD, why should I stop smoking?
Quite simply, COPD will progress all the more rapidly unless you do stop smoking. Quitting will increase your lung function and could prevent your having to use supplemental oxygen within months.
Must I really stop smoking if I have hypertension?
