What is the life expectancy of a copd patient that continues to smoke?

The life expectancy of a COPD patient who continues to smoke is significantly reduced compared to non-smokers or those who quit smoking. On average, smokers with COPD may live 5 to 10 years less than those who don't smoke, depending on the severity of the disease and other health factors. Continued smoking exacerbates lung function decline and increases the risk of complications, further shortening lifespan. Quitting smoking can lead to improved health outcomes and potentially increase life expectancy.
