You won't be considered for a lung transplant unless you stop smoking. You know what you have to do. It won't be easy so seek help from your doctor with giving up the cigarettes and get on with it.

Stop smoking

You can be ok and begin to heal. The body is an amazing thing

When I was diagnosed 6 years ago with COPD Bronciatacesis, I was scares too.

I find great support and comfort in talking and sharing with others in my situation.

Quiting smoking is hard but you can do it! Best of luck to you.
