The lungs are two air sacks located in the chest. They are a storage place for air.
A lung is an organ in many species that allows the animal to breath and transfer oxygen into their blood.
Saclike respiratory organs in the thorax of humans and the higher vertebrates.
There are many kinds of lung disease. Cancer can be caused by inhalation of carcinogenics such as cigarette smoke & asbestos. Smoking can also cause emphysema. A common lung disease in the elderly is COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Here, the body retains CO2 (carbon dioxide) leaving the patient feeling short of breath as they aren't clearing the CO2 and replaing it with oxygen. the most common respiratory disorder is Asthma which can be found in people of all ages.
By "pulmonary lung disease," I assume you are talking about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD is a disease that affects your lungs by reducing it's ability to receive and process oxygen by either narrowing the airways for oxygen to flow or by the overproduction of mucus in the lungs, which interferes with the lungs abilities to transport free oxygen into your blood.
COPDs main cause is cigarette smoke, but long-term exposure to smoke, smog, chemicals, or other air pollutants are also at risk.
Symptoms of COPD usually include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing up mucus, or a tightness of the chest.
COPD should not be confused with asthma, as asthma is treatable and the effects can be reduced with medication (or "puffers"). COPD is, as of right now, untreatable. We are unable to reverse the damage done to the lungs. Even worse is the fact that this disease worsens over time, and people who suffer from this condition will eventually have to change their lifestyles in order to cope with it.
Examples of lung ailments included asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, lung cancer and many others.
lung disease can be caused when a person smokes to much causing there lungs to blacken and shrivel up and if the damage is severe you can eventually die. :(
Smoking is the leading cause of lung disease.
Heart disease, lung disease and diabetes can all be considered organ diseases. Lung disease is a pulmonary disease, while heart disease is a cardiovascular disease. They are different.

How long a person can live with lung disease depends on the type of lung disease. Their overall health has an effect on how long they live.
Tuberculosis (TB)
In obstructive lung disease airways are narrowed which results in resistance to air flow during breathing. In restrictive lung disease, expansion of the lung is limited by disease that affects the chest wall, pleura, or lung tissue itself.
