Abstract

There are currently 15 million people affected with COPD in the United States. It appears that once the disease is well established or advanced, the ultimate course cannot be altered significantly. Emphasis should be given upon prophylactic measures. Discouragement of cigarette smoking is probably the most important means to reduce the incidence of COPD.
