ABSTRACT
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. In addition to smoking COPD caused by cigarette smoke, the phenotype of non-smoking COPD accounts for at least 1/4. Non-smoking COPD accounts for a large proportion, especially in developing countries. Non-smoking COPD and smoking COPD should be paid equal attention. More in-depth study on the prognosis of non-smoking COPD is needed.
