Abstract excerpt

Smoking is the major risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Apart from the important preventive steps of smoking cessation, there are no other specific treatments for COPD that are as effective in reversing the condition. However, only a relatively small proportion of smokers-about 15%-will develop clinically relevant COPD. Allergy, airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) to...
