What Is a Lung Nodule?
4. Smoking
It is no secret that smoking contributes to lung problems, as well as other health conditions. It can damage and scar the lungs to the point where it becomes harder to breathe. Smokers will often also develop a cough, and more permanent problems are also a risk. One of these is lung nodules – with an increased risk of them being cancerous.
If you do smoke then it is strongly recommended that you stop as soon as possible. It is not easy to do but there is a lot of support material available that can help. Doing so can help to prevent severe problems and extend your life. It can also improve the quality of your life overall.
