Answer 1

COPD is a disease main symptom is that less air flow in and out of the airways. This is usually due to the air sacs losing their elastic quality or that the airways make more mucous than is needed. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD.

Answer 2

Therefore I would conclude that it is associated with Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is the infection of the lungs which is usually caused by viruses or bacteria. You could say COPD is associated with it because once air-sacks get weak and lose their elasticity and function, it makes it easy for the lung to get infected.
