I suffer from the rare form COPD Alpha 1 = genetic inherited lung emfysema, lost my mother and grand mother because of it. Because i suffer from the Alpha 1 type, i got diagnosed at a young age, around the age of 25. As normal COPD 'if i can say it that way' is usually diagnosed around the ages 45-50.

I' have a lung damage from smoking for decades and have found that N-Acetyl Cysteine very good, otherwise known as NAC mixed with Glycine. It may be worth checking it out.
