How could a pulmonologist help a smoker to stop smoking?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Explain how damages: By showing pictures of what smoking does to lung, explaining it is an addiction and that it is one of the most heroic personal things a person can do. For yourself and your family. No longer any doubt about it causing lung cancers and several other cancers. Many new ways to stop but it takes a team and support to achieve your goal just like any goal you have ever set for yourself.
