Besides the disease burden, COPD is also associated with substantial economic costs. In the European Union, the total direct costs for COPD are estimated to be about 3% (€38.6 billion) of the total health care budget

Cigarette smoke is an important risk factor for COPD and it is known to adversely affect surfactant. In a series of 20 smoker, non-asthmatic COPD patients compared with 5 nonsmoker healthy controls we found a marked decrease (about 6-7 times) of total phospholipids in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids.
