Link between cigarette smoking and COPD: whats new in 2016

Our new article was published in ‪#‎Pneumologia‬: from ‪#‎smoking‬ to ‪#‎COPD‬: current approaches

Discouraged by the fact that autoimmunity represents a black box full of surprises, identifying an autoimmune origin in COPD induced by smoking might serve not only as a starting point for new research but also strengthens the relevance of smoking cessation in such patients. By establishing tighter connections among smoking and the autoimmune origin of COPD similar to well defined autoimmune diseases there will be achievable to direct COPD’s therapy toward different classes of medicine.
In what concerns the available approaches toward smokers with COPD, the vital step in defeating the disease and preventing other noxious effects of cigarette smoking, remains smoking cessation.

  1. Few years ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across HERBAL HEALTHPOINT (ww w. herbalhealthpoint. c om) and their COPD HERBAL TREATMENT. After seeing positive reviews from other patients, I quickly started on the treatment, i experienced significant recovery from symptoms, including the shortness of breath.
