What can cause chronic bronchitis with normal lung function test and no relation to allergy or infectious disease?

Tobacco: Tobacco smoking by far is the most common cause in the absence of allergy or infection. Air pollution is also a strong suspect although the link is not as well proven as with tobacco.
