Don Paladio had been a pharmacist in New York City. He retired to Florida and spent the better part of everyday swimming in the Gulf. He was healthy and strong. Gradually, however, his years of smoking began to compromise his lung's capacity. Soon, he could not swim at all. He enjoyed the beach from under his umbrella. Eventually, the trips to the beach were not possible. The diagnosis was pulmonary emphysema and COPD. Oxygen was needed, and his activities were diminished to cooking dinner for his wife and himself. Don was embarrassed about the oxygen tank and would no longer go out in public. He died when he was 85. 1.Discuss the impact of both diseases in Don's life 2.What, if anything, could have been done to make his suffering less difficult? 3.Identify characteristics of such long-term chronic illnesses that are particularly difficult. ***INCLUDE CITATIONS IN MLA 9TH EDITION PERDUE OWL***

please help me, I am using this to study but I do not know if my answer is correct.
Smoking damages two parts of the respiratory system: the airways known as the [1] and small air sacs called the [2]. [3] in your airway helps capture debris (dust, smoke, pathogens) in the air you breathe, then structures called [4] sweep the [5] and debris out of your lungs. Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of your airway, causing it to [6]; this makes the diameter of your airway [7] and slows the movement of air. Smoke also slows the movement of [8]. Is a "smoker's cough" due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [9] Is a long-term smoker's difficulty breathing due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [10] [11] is a lung disease caused by damage to the alveoli.
