soon became adults would die of lung disease for having any viral infections or smoking as they grew older. I wanted to know if age made a difference in lung disease. I based my hypothesis on my grandmother because she has a C.O.P.D. and my cousin because they both have asthma. I've seen them when they have trouble breathing and get sick.
