Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a debilitating lung disease usually caused by smoking. COPD, a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, obstructs the airways, making breathing very difficult. It is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada and the only one growing in prevalence. It is estimated that one Canadian every hour dies from the disease. The objectives of World COPD Day are to raise awareness of COPD among at-risk populations, encourage them to be assessed by a healthcare professional, and place COPD on public health agendas worldwide. 2, record 1, English, - World%20COPD%20Day
