All About COPD_679

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease in which the airways and air sacs inside the lungs are partially obstructed or destroyed. The result is labored breathing. There are varying degrees of this illness,smoking cessation, and different names for them, but it all comes back to damaged airways and air sacs. This disease occurs when a person breathes in lung irritants of some kind: smoke, chemicals,Herbal cigarettes, pollution, dust. It makes sense then, that the most common cause of COPD is smoking.Photo by Teoman YukselMore on COPD:COPD StatisticsDo I Have COPD?COPD Screening Quiz
