[ArchivalUser]

When starting therapy for patients with moderate persistent asthma, either of two approaches (ie, medium-dose inhaled GC or low-dose ICS plus a LABA) is recommended by the NAEPP guidelines,.

The combination of low-dose inhaled GCs plus a LABA is appropriate for previously untreated patients whose symptoms have been stable in the preceding weeks


The duration of abstinence from smoking necessary for a reduction in pulmonary complications is not well-established, although more than eight weeks may be preferable

As there is no evidence of harm related to a short duration of cigarette abstinence, we advise all patients anticipating elective surgery to quit smoking as soon as possible, regardless of the anticipated date of surgery. When time allows, a longer duration (at least eight weeks) of cessation is optimal.
