Today is #WorldNotobaccoDay. This year has seen a historic step forward for everyone affected by lung conditions, as the Tobacco and Vapes Bill became law, creating a “smoke-free generation”. However, there’s still work to be done now the bill has become law. Now is the time to ensure these new regulations protect people with lung conditions.

On #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we are reminded that tobacco smoke does not only affect smokers, but also those around them.

The EU-funded project #LungHealth4Life helps raise awareness in schools and communities.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) may be the single most important health metric for lowering mortality risk — yet it remains underappreciated in clinical practice.⁠ A study of 120,000 people who underwent exercise treadmill testing found striking results. When comparing the lowest CRF group to those just slightly more fit, the lowest fitness group had a 95% greater risk of death.

For context, having diabetes or a history of smoking was associated with about a 40% greater risk.⁠ The flip side? Those in the highest CRF group had an 85% lower risk of death compared to the lowest group. The data from this and many other studies support the same conclusion: the higher the CRF, the lower the risk of death.⁠

"Not enough doctors or patients understand how important CRF is for their overall health," researchers note. "No other topic in healthcare has a greater potential to improve health at both the population and the individual level." Read more by tapping the link: https://t.co/ljqaP8sHYo

Yesterday we were at the #BalmoralShow hosting an event as part of our role as charity partner of the Agri-Rural Health Forum, helping to highlight the importance of lung health for those working in the agricultural industry.

Policy and Public Affairs Officer from @asthmalunguk NI @Andrew_ALUK explains more.

[Lung Institute, Makerere University @Lung_Institute]

Breathlessness, chronic cough, bronchiectasis silently steals quality of life. But there’s hope. Pulmonary rehabilitation is proving to be a game changer in restoring function, independence, and dignity for patients with chronic lung disease.

Join us for an insightful #DOLSWebinar as experts unpack how Pulmonary Rehabilitation is transforming lung health outcomes and why it must be part of standard care.

🗓 20th May | ⏰ 3–4PM (EAT)

Recently our Loughborough Breathe Easy support group celebrated their 20th anniversary!

It’s a huge achievement to provide 20 years of support and community building to people living with lung conditions in Loughborough.

Anna Murphy, member of our Asthma + Lung Research Review Panel and Consultant Respiratory Pharmacist with the NHS said: “For the past two decades, this group has brought people together and provided support, and education around respiratory health. The members enjoy benefits of the weekly exercise class, alongside monthly education sessions led by guest speakers.”

“Local support groups for patients in the community are vital. They provide not only practical guidance, but also a sense of connection that can make a real difference to people living with lung conditions.”

Congratulations on this impressive milestone to all involved! You can find your community our website: https://t.co/jeUnzV8Cvd

Living with long COVID for three years, Leicester patient Travers David McCullough took part in the PHOSP-I study at the #NIHRLeicesterBRC to help researchers better understand potential treatments for the condition.

Sharing his experience, Travers said: “Now I know there’s something out there that works for me. That’s given me hope.”
