What is Smoker’s Cough?
A persistent cough arising from long term smoking is referred to as smoker’s cough. The air passages in our body are normally lined with hair called cilia. The function of these cilia is to sweep toxins and harmful substances like dust, bacteria, virus etc. out of the lungs, thus protecting the lungs. But smoking destroys these cilia. As a result, the toxins settle in the lungs and cause inflammation and mucus formation. The body then initiates the cough process to remove these toxins from the lungs.
Symptoms of Smoker’s Cough
Initially, when a person is not a heavy smoker, the cough is dry. In the long term, a heavy smoker’s cough becomes wet with formation of phlegm which varies from white to yellow to green in colour. It may even be blood stained. The cough is worse in the morning and is accompanied by symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath and chest pain. Pneumonia and bronchitis are the complications associated with long term smoking.
Homeopathic Treatment of Smoker’s Cough
Homeopathic medicines, which follow a symptomatic approach, can effectively treat smoker’s cough. The most suitable medicine is selected after taking down the complete case history of the patient and studying the associated symptoms. Homeopathic medicines help provide symptomatic relief in both the cough and other symptoms arising from smoking. Some Homeopathic medicines also help end the craving for tobacco smoking. These medicines are natural and safe from toxic side effects.

Good Morning Dr.
I am Somdutt Sharma from Gurgaon (Haryana), I want to quit smoking that is bidi since last 30 years.
Kindly advise me which medcine is suitable for me.
I am 58 years old.
Hi doc. I smoke cannabis regularly (multiple times a day). I consume my cannabis by smoking or occasionally by vape cartridge (CO2 extraction).
I have developed a hard, suffocating cough when smoking or vaping, and a dry unproductive cough with a wheeze when breathing deeply for the periods I am not smoking. I love edibles, but need the full spectrum of phytochemicals to most effectively control my life long gift from the military.
So, in short, can you recommend something that will at least help the coughing throughout the day?
Thank you.

I am 68. Smoking from last over 40 years. from some time past i am suffering from shortness of breath. I used to go for a morning walk. During the course of walking i used to take deep breath and when exhaling used to apply force to bring the deposited cough out with good results. Lately when I try doing this I have an attack of shortness breath with a sinking feeling as if i will loss control over my body and will drop down forcing me to look for a place to sit. This has forced me to abandon the walk and and also an all pervasive weakness. Kindly suggest remedy.
Hi Dr Sharma,
I believe I have got smoker’s cough since 2013 because I have been a smoker for 40 years! I always feel mucus sticking in my throat especially day and night, resulting in unintentional coughing, however, phlegm has never been expectorated. Thinking it was the problem of postnasal drip. I tried Kali Bichromicum 30C, Lachesus mutus 30C and a bottle of NutriBiotic, Nasal Spray Plus with Grapefruit Seed Extract, 1 fl oz, there was no improvement. My GP only said that it was allergic cough. Only taking long term of anti-allergic medicine might be helpful. Would you please help me solve it!
Regards
