I'm glad you managed to stop. :)

Hi Hughes...could you say what happened after the spirometry test....

Is it just asthma you have??

What medicine did take to stop coughing and stop been breathless

When I stop smoking I stopped coughing and haven't coughed since...that was 5 months ago.

Stay of the cigs is by far the best thing you can do to help your asthma.

I have asthma and COPD fev1is 73%.
