Smoking issue: Obvously breathing issues (bronchitis and cancer) are related to smoking. Throat problems are also well known. Tobacco smoking may be associated with an increased incidence rate of adult-onset asthma.Enlarged tonsils may contribute to respiratory problems. If you could refrain from smoking you might see some change in symptoms.
