See specialist: Severe coughing can interfere with sleep and daily activities. The best approach is to see a lung specialist to identify the reason for the cough so appropriate treatment can be given. Don't assume the cough is from smoking. However, be prepared to hear the "stop smoking" recommendation. Every good doctor will suggest a person stop! a thorough evaluation should find the reason for coughing.
