No worries: Viral bronchitis will resolve, sooner or later. From days to weeks. There is no reason to worry. Smoking has become a "social no no". Fortunately second hand smoke does not cause lung damage, although more and more people find it very annoying. For real lung disease and cancer you have to smoke at least 30 years yourself, 20 cigarettes daily. Something you did not do. Don't worry be happy!
