Particularly among patients who do not give up nicotine consumption, the course of the disease leads to steadily increasing and irreversible damage and functional impairment of the lungs. These damages lead to a severely limited life expectancy of the patient. Since there are no causal treatment approaches, the aim is to slow down or even to slow down the course of the disease and to increase the quality of life through optimal therapy, nicotine withdrawal and the above-mentioned supporting measures.
