Chronic airflow obstruction [PDF]
Chronic airflow obstruction (CAO) affects at least half a million people (Royal College of Physicians, 1981) in this country and will continue to be a major cause of morbidity and early death for many years to come. Even if cigarette smoking stopped today its legacy in CAO would continue beyond the end of the century. While acute respiratory infections,
