After smoking i have difficult breathing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop Smoking !!: Smoking cigarettes harms the lungs/ respiratory system. It can cause a buildup of mucus with swelling & narrowing of airways. Toxins, particulate matter, bacteria & viruses may not be cleared as well increasing risk for infections. The mucosa (lining) can become irritated. Coughing, wheezing and poorer air exchange can occur.
