Awesome! For those wondering why LAMA is preferred over LABA for monotherapy (as per your final algorithm), its because Tiotropium (LAMA) was shown to have greater reductions in exacerbations and hospitalizations compared to Salmeterol (LABA) in the POET-COPD trial.

People quit but get copd later in life. The damaged done doesn’t go away. Emphysema is for life. It doesn’t get better.
