smoker's cough
Cigarette user's hack
A smoker's cough is the persistent, often phlegmy cough that develops in habitual tobacco smokers.
It typically occurs in the morning as the lungs work to clear accumulated mucus and irritants.
The cough tends to worsen over years of smoking and may signal chronic bronchitis or other lung damage.
