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.
