The reactivity of the airway is associated with inflammatory changed in the lung A Pulmonary evaluation with spirometry is recommended. Please try to quit smoking, there may b long term damage to the lungs if you continue.

Wheezing when smoking suggests narrowing of the airways triggered by inhaled substances and stopping from smoking would be best as in time the inflammation caused by it may not respond anymore to the inhaler.
