7Prevention
To prevent and reduce the risk of chronic bronchitis, it is best to stop or avoid smoking. Cigarette smoke would cause serious damages to your lungs over a long period. By quitting smoking, you would allow this organ to heal and make it easier to breathe. Also, make sure to avoid lung irritants in your working or living areas, such as dust, hazardous fumes, paint, or gas. If necessary, wear a mask to cover your throat and nose. [7]
