Prevention from Pneumothorax

One can reduce one's chances of inheriting the condition by:

Refraining from tobacco
Wearing a seat belt at all times to prevent injury or trauma to the chest in case of an accident
Avoid scuba diving, flying, or mountain climbing at high altitudes if there is a history of pneumothorax
Educating yourself about the risk factors of pneumothorax especially if you suffer from any other lung disease or infection
Taking extra precautions if you have already suffered from one pneumothorax. This is because people with a previous history of the condition are more likely to develop pneumothorax in the same or other lung.
