Hello all,

As I've mentioned, I used to be a smoker, so damage has been done, but I stopped so that I could hopefully not make my COPD worse. I will be traveling to Paris later this year and I know the smoking culture is still strong there. I am concerned about second hand smoke aggravating my COPD. Does second hand smoke effect you? How do you avoid it?

Hello everyone! How are you feeling today?

What do you think about secondhand smoking? How does the smoke from someone else's cigarette affect your condition? How do you cope with it?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team
