Experiment shows lung capacities in #smokers and #non-smokers – video
Smoking is the biggest cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – a range of conditions including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Smoking can also make symptoms worse for people with asthma and other lung conditions.
The good news is that people who stop smoking by the age of 40 can gain 10 years of extra life.
