COPD refers to conditions which deteriorate the lungs over time.   This respiratory illness covers two long-term lung diseases, including chronic bronchitis, where the bronchial tubes are inflamed and emphysema, when the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs become damaged.   These two conditions may occur separately or exist simultaneously with those who have COPD.   Smoking is the pri
