20% of asthma pts adherent to prescribed regime
6% of COPD pts adherent to regime

Chaotic non-adherers remain so over time

#Kruidvat supermarket chain decides to STOP selling #cigarettes. A great step forward to reduce access to #Tobacco, hopefuly followed by other chains that advocate for #lung health. Also a great long-term strategy as smoking kills their clients too... @EuropeanLung
