Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema the lung tissues necessary to support the physical shape and function of the lung are damaged.
Emphysema caused by smoking most often occurs in the upper lobes of the lungs. In chronic bronchitis, smoking triggers inflammation that causes damage in the airways. The processes involved include: 1  Damage to the cilia, the hair-like waving projections that move mucus, bacteria, and foreign particles out of the lungs. 2  Enlargement of the mucus glands in the large airways of the lungs. 3  Overgrowth of smooth muscle cells in the airway.
