My other half has a dry throat and coughs he is a smoker but has been very stressed lately?

Does he want help?: I am not sure what the question is. His smoking can not be helping his cough. Is he willing to work toward feeling better? If so, this would be a good time for him to see his physician. His doctor can assess the damage from his smoking & assess your significant other's stress. In the mean time encourage him to hydrate well. If he would hold off on the smoking that would be great.
