Specializes in Clinical Psychology

You know the answer: I respect the fact that it is difficult to stop smoking but that appears to be the way to go. Check w/your doc or local hospital for a support group. The health hazards of smoking are well documented and your cough is a helpful warning sign. The very best to you.
