Hi, I hear you & believe that the most important thing is to stay away from smoking. To continue with that habit would be detrimental to your health. Good for you that you stopped. Hopefully you're seeing a pulmonary doctor who can monitor your health. Some steps that you can take to improve your health are exercising daily, esp walking & drinking a lot of water. Keep reading past posts to glean more information, support & encouragement.

Take care of yourself. Terri

If you smoke normally with beer, I would suggest you quit drinking beer. COPD gets worse fast with smoking. Only quitting completely will you notice any benefit to your breathing.

There is a good forum for quitting on here.
