In this episode we are joined by Dr Rossa Brugha, consultant respiratory physician at GOSH, to talk about health promotion in respiratory conditions. We talk about the effect that smoking, vaping and air pollution can have on children with respiratory conditions, and what we as paediatricians can do about it.
