COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) ranks globally among the most frequent chronic respiratory diseases, affecting approximately 8 % of world population and is strongly associated with smoking. In the Czech republic, about 30 % of population over 15 years are smokers, spending almost 120 billion CZK (equivalent of 5.5 billion USD) every year on tobbaco products (about 11,000 CZK/500 USD per capita). COPD is one of the major diseases routinely treated by pulmonologists. About 300,000 patients are unaware of their condition and thus untreated. The purpose of the following text is to highlight the basic principles of modern COPD treatment.

Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smoking, bronchodilators.
