If u have had past bad experiences of copd, then I think u should now stop smoking. Anyways what u have right now is a chronic bronchitis, an early stage of COPD and if u don't quit now it will be late. Do a spirometry to see the effect on your lungs and see a cheat physician for u need an inhaler with bronchodilator and steroids
