Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD can be extremely serious if left undiagnosed or if not properly treated. If you have some of the symptoms of COPD you should certainly consult your doctor.
Cigarette smoking is responsible for approximately 85-90% of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths. The harmful chemicals in cigarettes lead to lung damage and inflammation, significantly increasing the risk of developing COPD. Quitting smoking can greatly reduce the risk and improve lung health, even for long-term smokers.

Cigarette smoking is responsible for approximately 80-90% of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths. This significant percentage highlights the strong link between smoking and the development of COPD, emphasizing the importance of smoking cessation efforts in reducing mortality associated with this condition.
The best options for COPD treatment are to quit smoking and then to do as your doctor recommends. Surgery is not usually done with COPD, however, it is still an option.
The key in your question is do you have a long history of smoking. COPD is very common in those who have long smoking histories. If you notice difficulty in breathing, please visit your physician.
Smoking is harmful for everyone
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is primarily caused by smoking, with cigarettes accounting for approximately 80-90% of COPD-related cases. While exact global death tolls can vary, the World Health Organization estimates that COPD contributes to over 3 million deaths annually, with a significant proportion of these deaths linked directly to smoking. Therefore, smoking is a leading risk factor for COPD mortality worldwide.

I would imagine so.
Smoking is a major risk factor for various diseases, and two prominent diseases associated with tobacco use are: Lung Cancer: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. The harmful substances in tobacco smoke can damage lung cells and lead to the development of cancerous tumors in the lungs. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): COPD is a group of lung diseases, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, characterized by airflow obstruction and difficulty breathing. Smoking is the primary cause of COPD, and the chronic irritation from tobacco smoke contributes to the progressive decline in lung function.
Vaping is different than inhaling nicotine from tobacco, but vaping still introduces chemicals of unknown ingredients to your lungs. It is better to avoid smoking entirely with COPD.
