💨 Asthma triggers are everywhere—and they’re not always obvious. From pollen and mould to va**ng, smoking, viruses, and even strong emotions, knowing your triggers is the first step to better asthma control. 🌿🫁

✨ Track your symptoms, avoid known triggers, and always keep your reliever inhaler nearby.

Smoking harms almost every organ in the body and increases the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. While some people use va**ng as a tool to quit, it’s important to understand the facts and separate them from common myths — including concerns often raised about things like “popcorn lung”.

The right information, support and guidance can help you make an informed choice about your health.

💛 Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your body. Even small steps today can lead to big health benefits tomorrow.

🤰A vaccine during pregnancy which protects newborns against nasty chest infections is cutting hospital admissions of babies by more than 80% according to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency.

The study showed that the maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination at least 2 weeks before birth gave 81.3% protection.

RSV causes bronchiolitis (infection and inflammation of the small airways of the lung) and is a major cause of hospital admission in infants.

Getting vaccinated as soon as possible from 28 weeks will provide the best protection for your baby. But it can be given later if needed, including up until you go into labour.
