Blood test reveals whether smoking will cause COPD
Why can some people smoke their whole life without developing either cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? This type of question lays a smokescreen about how important quitting smoking is. A new study now shows that a blood test can measure how the body reacts to the presence of cigarette smoke in the lungs. A high concentration of a specific protein in the blood is associated with a greatly increased risk of COPD – many years before the disease develops. The researchers hope that this test can become a regular part of a health check-up and thereby help to motivate smokers to quit their risky habit.
