Why is smoking so addictive?
If seven out of 10 smokers want to stop smoking, and the same number try to do so, why are there not more ex-smokers than smokers?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
COPD describes a number of long-term lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) more commonly affects older men although the number of women with COPD is increasing as a direct result of more women smoking.
