Detailed explanation-1: -The chemicals in cigarette smoke weaken your lungs’ defense against infections, narrow air passages, cause swelling in air tubes and destroy air sacs-all contributing factors for COPD.
Detailed explanation-2: -Smoking and air pollution are the most common causes of COPD. People with COPD are at higher risk of other health problems. COPD is not curable, but symptoms can improve if one avoids smoking, exposure to air pollution, and gets vaccines to prevent infections.
Detailed explanation-3: -COPD is a lung disease that’s usually caused by smoking, although some people who smoke for years never get the condition, while a few get COPD even if they’ve never lit up.
