Correspondence] The Lancet COPD Commission: broader questions remain. thelancet.com I have read with interest the comprehensive Commission on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by Daiana Stolz and colleagues.1 The authors report that "The most efficient way to reduce the burden of COPD is to ban cigarette smoking in all its forms." However, only a few sentences later the authors downplay the importance of smoking: "risk factors unrelated to tobacco are increasingly responsible for the burden of COPD, and are likely to surpass the risk attributable to smoking within the next two decades".

Correspondence] The Lancet COPD Commission: broader questions remain — Authors' reply. thelancet.com We thank Paulo CRP Corrêa for his interest in the Commission1 and wholeheartedly agree that the absence of meaningful tobacco control is unacceptable and in no way aimed to diminish its importance. In addition, we take no issue with the assertion that continued smoking among people with established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for much of the disease burden. However, we think it is important to recognise that factors other than tobacco are increasingly accountable for incident cases of COPD, including e-cigarette use as Corrêa highlights.
