Be ready to discuss your medical history, lifestyle habits (such as smoking), and any recent changes in your health.

Can a pulmonologist help me to quit smoking?

Yes, pulmonologists play a crucial role in smoking cessation programs. They offer personalized counseling, medication options, and behavioral therapies to help individuals quit smoking effectively. Their support can significantly improve your chances of successfully quitting and reducing the risk of lung-related diseases.

What conditions do pulmonologists attend to?
