What is COPD? COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulminary Disease. The two most common diseases for COPD, are: __Chronic Bronchits__ (airways are irratated, and produce to much mucus, and your airways are swollen and partly block air from passing through.) __E____mphysema__ (at the tip of your airways you have caused some damage, which makes it hard for your body to intake the right amount of oxygen it needs).

Copd can affect all age groups, not only is it prevetable but once diagnosed if you take the right steps you can manage your copd and live a comfortable life.

The #1 thing you can do to prevent Chronic Obstructive Pulminary Disease, is not to smoke or quit now! Smoking is found to be the number one cause of Copd. Its really not suprising when you look to see whats in a cigarette.

These are only a few of the many harmful chemicals found in ciagarettes. Although smoking is the number one cause its not the only thing that can cause COPD. Pollution, asthma, and second hand smoke can all contribute to getting Copd.
