Quit smoking: Chronic bronchitis is a serious diagnosis and you are at great risk of permanent lung damage. Your health department may have assistance to help in quitting smoking. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

See doc: With returning symptoms you should be reassessed as many times pneumonia settles in following bronchitis. Of course, smoking is not helping and you should seriously consider quitting, but is not likely that smoking only is causing you worsening symptoms. Seeing the same doc will definitely help.
