COPD cannot be cured but it can be prevented. To prevent COPD:

• Do not smoke, and, if you do smoke, quit.
• Eliminate your exposure to smoke by not allowing people to smoke in your home and by sitting in designated nonsmoking areas when out in public. You should also avoid wood smoke and cooking smoke.
• Limit air pollutants in your home.
• Try to avoid getting respiratory infections during cold and flu season. You should also frequently wash your hands because viruses can be passed through hand-to-mouth contact.
• Fight for clean air to prevent those cases of COPD due to air pollution.
