Whats the difference between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is Asthma, Chronic Bronchititis, and Emphysema, all of thise diseases cause obstruction of the airways, Asthma is a disease of inflamation (which causes swelling) and constriction, which narrows the airways, That's why two medications are needed, one an anti-inflamatory, and a broncho-dilator. Emphysema is a disease in which the small airways become damaged and distroyed, becoming like tissue paper, colapsing and obstructing the airway. Chronic Bronchititis is a disease which large amounts of thick secretions are produced which obstruct the airways. Many times a patient with one of these diseases also has some of the others. This is true less often with Asthma, especially if the patient has never been a smoker.
