Smoker’s Cough symptoms:
Heavy smokers often have a chronic cough, especially in the morning, which is accompanied by dyspnea and is due to excessive smoking. This shortness of breath is one of the essential elements characteristic of smokers.
Frequently, tobacco users experience bronchitis throughout the winter.
The smoker's cough is very common among heavy tobacco users. It is even one of the main causes of chronic irritating cough.
This problem is well known, so much so that smokers often consider that cough is a normal, logical symptom. As a result, smoking patients do not consult much for this simple inconvenience.
Over time, smoker's cough can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This pathology is a narrowing of the airways that weakens the lungs and is extremely common.
However, suppressing smoking for one month is enough to kill cough in 77% of smokers. Long-term smokers will need to ensure that all potentially serious secondary causes are eliminated.
Note: It is found that cigarette smokers are the most affected by this cough problem, followed by pipe smokers and then cigars.
