Many people who smoke cigarettes will develop a sharp, deep cough commonly known as a smoker’s cough. According to Sethi, this can take a couple of weeks before it starts to get better.
“If you’ve already developed emphysema and bronchitis, what we call COPD, some of the symptoms of it will get better,” said Sethi. “Generally, what happens as you develop lung disease from smoking, you get sputum. People tend to just call it smoker’s cough, but it’s actually bronchitis. It is brought from the inflammation and an increase in mucus production in the airways as a result of smoke in the area. That starts to decline in a couple of weeks; people will have less coughing sputum.”
As a result, Sethi said a person will cough less, have a reduced amount of mucus, and therefore will be able to breathe better.
Sethi added, “When you look at smokers with COPD, cancer, cardiovascular and lung disease are the three major concerns we have. There is currently no medication, no treatment that can block these detrimental effects of tobacco smoke.”
