World Lung Day has significance in addressing the issues related to lung diseases such as asthma, cancer, tuberculosis, and other infections. These diseases affect the lungs to weaken it badly and deteriorate the overall body health system. People can care for their lungs by following a healthy lifestyle and observing good habits which will not only prevent them from diseases but lead a healthy life.
