Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is known to reduce dyspnea, increase exercise capacity, reduce psychological symptoms and improve quality of life in COPD patients. Some patients continue to smoke despite their illness. Smoking does not create a contraindication to PR. There is insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of PR programs in smoking COPD patients. The purpose of this study, PR completed the program to determine the effectiveness of PR smoker COPD patients.
