BREATHE NEW HAMPSHIRE

Breathe New Hampshire is the state's resource for lung health information and services. The agency has served New Hampshire residents for 100 years focusing on preventing lung disease and breathing problems, before they start and improving the quality of life for those living with lung disease. Current threats to breathing in New Hampshire include asthma, COPD(sometimes called emphysema or chronic bronchitis), tobacco smoke, lung cancer, and air quality. Through education, advocacy, research, and partnerships, Breathe New Hampshire works to involve NH citizens in matters that affect breathing and ensure that those living with lung disease have the support and resources they need.
