Emphazema doesn't get the attention that many other disease do, but it's one of the top five fatal diseases and well over 100,000 people die from it each year. Perhaps the reason it doesn't get more attention is because the major cause of emphazema is smoking. So it may be that the majority feel it's a disease that you give yourself and could be completely prevented. While there is some truth to that, it still causes great suffering, and there are a lot of people with emphazema who never smoked. If nothing else, more education could be undertaken to help prevent emphazema.
