http://emphysemafoundation.org/ Emphysema is the fourth largest cause of mortality in the U.S., yet it is not a highly publicized disease, consequently, little is known about it by the average citizen.

Smoking is the major cause, but with ever increasing air pollution and other environmental factors that negatively affect pulmonary patients, those numbers are on the rise.
