Chronic Bronchitis: Your age, habit, and symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis (stretched out air sacs and lung passageways) or even worse. You really need to ditch the cancer stick, otherwise your future portends much misery at the least. Please see a doctor soon. You might need antibiotics and a lung x-ray.
