Can smoking cause sinus trouble ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The sinuses are part of our respiratory system, and smoking impairs EVERY part of that system, from the mouth and nose all the way into the deepest parts of our longs, and includes the sinuses as well. It is a major factor in most cases of chronic sinusitis, although it is by no means the only cause. Get help quitting if you need it. Good luck!
