Britain has the highest death rate for lung conditions in western Europe, a charity has warned.
Over a seven-year period to 2018, half a million people in the UK died from lung conditions such as asthma attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia, according to the charity Asthma and Lung UK.
The charity, formerly known as Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation, said across Europe, only Turkey had a higher death rate than the UK.
