Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as name suggests is due to obstruction.
The best way to prevent its further complication is to STOP SMOKING.
No more cigarettes no tobacco because it would make the situation worse.
Go for alternative for nicotine like chewing gum or implants but stop smoking now.
It would make a difference.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
