On the World’s No Tobacco Day, EFA Member RESPIRA, together with the Portuguese Pneumology Society, organised a visit to the sanctuary Bom Jesus de Braga where participants needed to climb the staircase with a peg on their nose. The exercise served to show how difficult it feels for COPD patients to do their daily activities, every single day.
Many newspapers published several reports about the activity and RTP2, a television network made a special information regarding Respira, its activity and also about the World No Tobacco Day.
