Cough in a smoker: You have type 2 diabetes and on meds, are you on ace inhibiters which are used for high blood pressure in diabetics for renal protection and can cause cough.Smokind iyself can cause chronic cough and chronic bronchitis, but you should see your doctor as its been for 5 months and you want to know the cause and get treated.You should seriously stop smoking.
