Ken, quite possible as environmental factors are the #2 cause of COPD.
Here's a reputable article on COPD. My dad has it, but he's smoked for 60

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
