Abstract

Smoking cessation remains a major issue for asthmatic smokers. Respiratory rehabilitation and respiratory physiotherapy have shown a benefit in controlling symptoms, preventing exacerbations and improving the quality of life. The control of the environment is crucial and must be approached in a global way. Management of obesity and psychological disorders should be systematically proposed. Allergen immunotherapy may be discussed in allergic persistent asthma to house dust mites. Certain dietary interventions or alternative medicines have not proved their worth.
