Tobacco control
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.
