Tobacco: If you are concerned about your health, stop smoking now. Otherwise you are looking forward to a lifetime of sore throat and coughing up phlegm. If you have persistent productive cough and fever, you may have bronchitis which will continue to worsen as long as you smoke. When you changed your cigarette, you changed your drug (nicotine) delivery system and drug dose to which your body is reacting.
