I've been smoking for the past 4 years, but now I've started feeling really lazy and it's causing other issues too. I'm really looking to quit. Could you please give me some advice on how to stop smoking and maybe help with these problems?

I'm really worried about my dad. I've attached his recent chest CT scan, and I'm hoping you can help explain what's going on. He was diagnosed with COPD last year, and I'm not sure how this scan relates to that. What should I be looking out for?

I'm really worried about my friend who's been getting treated for TB for over a month now. He seemed to be doing better, but then he suddenly came down with a high fever for a week, had terrible weakness, and was sweating a lot at night. The doctors gave him some new meds and he improved a lot, but now he's been diagnosed as COVID positive. Right now, hes not showing any typical COVID symptoms, so I'm kind of stressing about what we should do next. Could you give some advice on the next steps we need to take?

I've been experiencing this issue where I cough up blood sometimes in the morning. I went to the doctor, and they said all my tests like blood work and X-ray look fine, even checked my bulgum. But I constantly feel like I have a cough stuck in my throat area. What could be causing this if all my reports are fine? Should I be worried about something else?
