Is there a way to prevent or minimize chances of getting copd ?

Combination of your genetic structure and your exposure to pulmonary “toxic” substances. Don’t smoke, don’t vape, don’t let others in your workplace or house do either, no coal mining, no working with asbestos, no dusty environments, no breathing aromatic fumes (no breathing is best of all). Phew!! Best to live high in Kathmandu, have your sterile food delivered by helicopter on autopilot.
