A member asked:
I have bronchitis, i only cough in the morning, i do feel slight chest pain, overall quite ok, how bad it is to smoke even half a cigarette a day?

Smoking: Don't! this is a common cause of persistence of bronchitis because it interferes with several of the immune mechanisms the tracheobronchial tree uses to prevent or minimize infection. To say nothing of all the other problems cigarettes cause.
