How do you prevent bronchitis?

Don't smoke: Not smoking and avoiding smokers/ smoke filled rooms is the single best way to reduce risk, followed by hand washing, annual inflenza vaccination, good oral hygiene, and eating well.

Acute? Chronic?: Acute bronchitis is caused by an infection of the airways. Preventive measures include avoiding people who have the infection as much as possible as well as frequent hand washing. Chronic bronchitis is typically caused by smoking so never smoking as well as smoking cessation is vital for prevention.
