Some patients continue to smoke despite their illness. Smoking does not create a contraindication to PR. There is insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of PR programs in smoking COPD patients. The purpose of this study, PR completed the program to determine the effectiveness of PR smoker COPD patients. People who have completed the PR program, smoking and not smoking will be included into the study. Data of carbon monoxide diffusion test, body plethysmography, 6-min walk test, blood gas analysis, mMRC dyspnea scale, hospital anxiety depression scale, SGRQ and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire performed before and after the program will be analyzed.
