Additional reasoning to quit smoking are as follows. Smoking is not only the primary cause of COPD, but According to the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association Task Force, European Society of Cardiology Committee for Practice Guidelines, European Heart Rhythm Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society, it is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death (7). Smoking among patients with cardiac rehabilitation was reduced by 36% (8), and this effect may be possible in patients undergoing Pulmonary Rehab programs. Smoking is also a major risk factor for not only lung cancer, but also for many other cancers. For instance, smoking causes approximately 40% of gastric and esophageal cancers (9).
