May or may not have : You believe you have a "smoker's cough". It's possible. If you do you will usually feel a tickling feeling at the back of the throat just before you cough or feel like a feather is tickling the back of your throat. If that is the case ask your doc to write you a script for benzonate 200 mg q8hrs. It suppresses the cough.
