From my experience I can tell you that is highly probably you got this ill from the gases of cleaning products, some of them contain even sulfuric acids, they destroy the lungs within months or even days. I know many people that lightly smoked like you, they never developed COPD or any pulmonary problems, some of them dyed over 80 from illness not related at all with smoking, my father dyed at 76 from a very rare cancer related to digestive organ, smoked lightly for many years. COPD usually attacks heavy smokers 2 and 3 packs a day from 10 years most of often
