Hi sandeep sharma
smoking is really dangerous, but you have not reached to a level of getting its serious effects.
even violent cough can cause tearing of bronchial mucosa and blood streaks.
kindly get tuberculosis ruled out ( chest xray, sputum for AFB).
If you are elderly one, go for a CT screen of lung, because it may be a sign of malignancy.
best wishes
