Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a difficult reversible lung disease that is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, and the World Health Organization (WHO) ranks COPD among the top five leading causes of death in the world. The disease encompasses a diverse group of clinical symptoms that share a common feature of limitation of expiratory airflow, and the most common cause is emphysema and chronic bronchitis. COPD is a growing health problem that is expected to worsen as the population ages and the use of tobacco products, as the most significant risk factor, continues to grow worldwide. Along with tobacco use, occupational environmental exposure to chemical substances, dust and other lung irritants is also considered a risk factor for the development of COPD. furthermore, COPD is a slowly progressive disease with a long asymptomatic phase, during which lung function declines. A persistent cough, especially with mucus production, is a common symptom. Dyspnea, expressed during physical activities, wheezing and tightness in the chest are also present. Patients often present with the first acute exacerbation of COPD in an advanced stage. Symptoms usually do not appear until the expiratory volume in 1 second is approximately % of normal. The final stage of COPD is characterized by severe airflow limitation with limited physical abilities of the patient as well as systemic complications. Extrapulmonary effects associated with the disease include weight loss, nutritional abnormalities, and muscle atrophy. All this contributes to the reduced quality of life of people suffering from COPD. The goal of the research was to examine the habits and symptoms of COPD and their impact on the quality of life of affected persons. 15 people suffering from COPD participated in the research. To the research, a survey was conducted, that is, an interview that examined certain sequences related to the disease and its impact on the patients' quality of life. Most respondents state that the impact of the disease has taken control of their quality of life. They also believe that they are partly responsible for their own condition in case of deterioration because they do not take continuous therapy and do not follow the doctor's instructions. Smokers report that they will not stop smoking despite knowing that it greatly affects their condition.
