Imagine if making a few lifestyle changes could significantly improve your lung health. This ongoing trial is looking at how quitting smoking, eating better, and increasing physical activity can help reduce chronic inflammation in lifelong smokers. Chronic inflammation can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer. By using treatments like low-dose acetylsalicylic acid and cytisine to help people quit smoking, along with regular health screenings, the study aims to show that these changes can make a real difference. With 2,000 participants expected, the findings could provide valuable insights into how we can combat the harmful effects of smoking and poor diet on lung health. If successful, this approach could help many people breathe easier and live healthier lives.
