Bronchiectasis
COPD
any of a group of chronic, progressive and debilitating respiratory diseases; including emphysema, asthma, brochitis, and bronchiectasis

Cystic Fibrosis
Chronic pulmonary disease; enlargement and destruction of alveoli (smokers usually get this)
Emphysema
Inflammation of lungs generally caused by infection; may involve bronchioles and alveoli (bronchopneumonia) or one or more lobes of the lung (lobar pneumonia)
