Hi welcome I too am one of the unlucky smokers to end up with copd. I tried many times since my DX in 2006. But finally did it. Good luck xx

Thankyou Nottobad.

HI nice to meet you. I have copd as well and since 25th July have been using the patches and the inhalator. I am still smoking up to 3 ciggies a day but am looking to cut those out too. You can do this and we are all here to support you. Well done. xx
