10 Steps to Living in Harmony with COPD

7. Avoid Air Pollutants

Of course, to stop smoking was at the very top of this list, as that it is the absolute most important thing to change about your lifestyle, once you have been diagnosed with COPD. However, you must also take great care to avoid second-hand smoke, as that it can also be very detrimental to your health, as well as a trigger for COPD symptoms. Also try to avoid pollen and even household cleaners and pesticide sprays. Above all, try to stay away from dust, and never clean dusty or dirty areas in your house unless you are wearing a mask.
