World Lung Day 2025: Women are 50 percent more sensitive than men towards serious lung diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). This danger is not only limited to smoking women, but also in women who have never drunk or drink cigarettes, this risk is also seen equally.

Experts say that the perception of women is not completely correct, with cigarette smoke. Cronic lung diseases like COPD cause difficulty in breathing, limited air flow and increasing serious problems over time.

Increased threat of COPD in women

According to doctors, women who have COPD are more serious than men. Behind this, women’s lungs and respiratory system’s cigarette smoke or more sensitivity to other pollution may be more.

In countries like India, this problem is often seen more in rural homes, where women come in contact with fuel from fuel made from charpa, coal or cow dung. According to experts, this smoke is equal to many cigarette smoking daily. At the same time, women in cities are constantly in contact with traffic pollution and passive smoke.

Symptoms can prove to be dangerous

Doctors say that most women ignore the initial symptoms of COPD or other lung problems. Diseases like COPD often occur in the initial stage without any clear symptoms. If you consider problems like breathlessness, frequent cough or fatigue as the cause of age or weakness, it can prove to be fatal.
