Lung Health Day, observed annually on the fourth Wednesday of October, is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of lung health and the prevention of lung-related diseases. This day emphasizes the need for proper respiratory care, early detection, and the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices to protect lung function. It highlights common lung issues such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and the impact of air pollution and smoking on respiratory health.

On Lung Health Day, healthcare professionals, organizations, and communities come together to provide education, conduct screenings, and promote resources that help individuals take proactive steps to improve their lung health. Activities may include informational seminars, free spirometry tests, smoking cessation support, and campaigns advocating for clean air. Lung Health Day serves as a reminder of the vital role our lungs play in overall health and encourages everyone to breathe easier by prioritizing lung health through prevention, early intervention, and ongoing care.
