Stopped smoking. Can I still have diseases like COPD?
-
I'm 25 years old and have recently given up smoking after a steady reduction over several years. I've smoked for six years probably averaging two cigarettes a day. I am not smoking for the last 6 months. This is the biggest step I can take to improve my health but I still find the possible consequences of my years of smoking terrifying. Am I still at risk of premature death? What are my chances of developing conditions due to my smoking past? Conditions like COPD are particularly worrying me. I've had asthma since childhood (which is now very well controlled).
What are my chances? Is there any more I can do to improve my health? -
