Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions contributing to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The two conditions usually coexist and can vary in severity in people with COPD. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchi that carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs, and it is characterized by daily cough and phlegm (sputum). Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli at the ends of the smallest airways (bronchioles) in the lungs are destroyed by harmful exposure to cigarette smoke and other irritating gases and dust particles.
