Brief Summary   The term  PRIsm is characterized by decreased forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1<80%) without airflow limitation (FEV1/FVC >0.7) The risk of COPD was increased in PRIsm patients. Several studies
shows association between PRIsm and Smokers. We divide the smokers into three groups based on spirometry results: normal, PRIsm, and COPD. Study design is based on Randomized control study. The reason for taking this study is COPD is said to be irreversible condition. My plan is to identify smokers with PRIsm and grade them in early COPD criteria and reverse the condition of one group by pulmonary
rehabilitation and smoking cessation and other group by placebo and counselling. Pulmonary rehabilitation is the most effective intervention for improving the quality of life  and decreasing morbidity and mortality and its also cost effective tool. Smoking cessation also improves the quality of life by decreasing morbidity and mortality  and also one of the effective intervention.The study is randomized controlled parallel trial arms  to determine smoking cessation and pulmonary rehab in parallel part whereas placebo and counselling in control part. Total of 142 patients will be randomized into two groups using computer generated randomization that control group(n=71) and parallel group which will consist of smoking cessation and pulmonary rehab(n=71) and assesor outcome will be blinded to group allocation. Intervention group will receive pulmonary rehab including breathing exercises,upper limb exercises,lower exercises and mixed exercises and also they will receive validated education booklet , videos and dairy to note daily exercises. Whereas control group will receive placebo and counselling.Outcome  will be assesed at baseline,2nd month,4th month,6th month,8th month,10th month and 12th month(end of intervention)
