A member asked:
Does smoke inhalation cause symptoms similar to those of your sinuses draining? like chest congestion, stuffy nose, yellow/greenish mucus? asthma?

Possibly: Are you talking about fire smoke or tobacco smoke? Fire smoke can put soot into your lungs , cause clogging asthma like symptoms and can be life threatening. Tobacco smoke inhalation is more of a lesser irritation affecting each person differently but all of the symptoms you mentioned are possible including itchy eyes, sore throat, cough and others.
