asthma and COPD

Treatment of asthma is only by inhalation therapy. Inhaled brochodilators (IBD) are the 'releivers' needed for acute distress. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the 'preventers' to be given whether well or ill. COPD is a challenge to the physician and the patient. Tell me what smoking does not cause!
