    Copd

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a collective term for a group of conditions that block airflow and make breathing more difficult, such as:
    Emphysema - breathlessness caused by undermine to the air sacs (alveoli)
    Chronic bronchitis - coughing with many of mucus that continues for at least three months.

    Smoking is the the bulk common cause of COPD and is responsible for 80 per cent of cases.

    It's estimated that 94 per cent of 20-a-day smokers have some emphysema when the lungs are examined after death, while more than 90 per cent of non-smokers have little or none.

    COPD typically starts between the ages of 35 and 45 when lung function starts to decline anyway.
    In smokers, the rate of decline in lung function can be three periods the normal rate. As lung function declines, breathlessness begins.

    As the condition progresses, severe breathing troubles can call for hospital care. The final stage is death from slow and progressive breathlessness.
