Description:

Dr. Edward Eden, the Chief of Pulmonary/Critical Care at Roosevelt Hospital, discusses the treatment of COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD is a common lung disease associated with smoking. Treatment includes general good health, exercise, good nutrition, flu vaccination, pneumonia vaccination, avoidance of smoking, and medications- such as inhalers that dilate the bronchial tubes.

There are treatments available for COPD, but if people don't stop smoking the treatments will not be effective in the longterm and the COPD will win.
