Hello,
Based on your symptoms it seems you are suffering from bronchitis. Smoking is one of the most common causes of bronchitis.
Long-term smoking can lead to COPD all the way up to lung cancer.
So as a physician I would advise you to stop smoking. there are many ways available to quit smoking. You can discuss those options with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
