Illustration of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common lung disease where breathing is difficult. There are two main forms of COPD: Chronic bronchitis, whose symptoms include a long-term cough with mucus) (inset left) and emphysema (the gradual breakdown of the lungs) (inset right).
