So 25% get COPD and out of that 25% how many die from it?

Reread the article.

During the 25 years, there were 2,900 deaths in the study group. Of those deaths, 109 were directly attributable to COPD, and nearly all those deaths were in people who were active smokers at the start of the study. Only two non-smokers died of COPD.

I'd say a lot less then 25% died of COPD..
