Chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) is a top ten cause of death. COPD restricts air flow to the lungs, making it difficult to breathe for individuals living with it. COPD is different from asthma as it generally is caused by modifiable risk factors.

To reduce your risk of developing COPD:
- Stop smoking
- Avoid inhaling cigarette smoke
- Limit your time in areas with poor air quality
