Informational Tool for Smoking Cessation in COPD Patients

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that affects nearly 8% of the adult population and causes 18,000 deaths per year in France. The most frequent cause of this pathology is smoking. COPD patients who stop smoking have a better quality of life, a marked a significant slowdown in disease progression and an increased life expectancy. Investigators propose to carry out a quantitative study among patients smokers suffering from COPD, by setting up a tool in the form of an motivational intervention specific to this population.
