My first and heart felt advice for you is to stop smoking. You do know that smoking causes cancer? The reason you are having a painful cough is your lungs telling you to please quit already.


It’s also a foregone conclusion that you also have bronchitis of one type or another.

The cough you are having is typically called as a smokers cough. Although I can give you  few home remedies, let me repeat my self again in advising you to please stop smoking and get an immediate x-ray of your lungs done to rule any incipient conditions .


I have your well-being at heart.

 

Few remedies for cough -

  • This tastes really terrible but it works. Mix a tsp of cayenne pepper, ground ginger, honey, apple cider vinegar and water together and let it mix well for a few hours. Take about three to four teaspoons of the mixture every three hours. Work swells but really yucky taste.
  • Use ginger and cayenne pepper as a wonderful remedy to treat coughs and cold. Roast the pepper and ginger and cayenne pepper separately and add to boiling water let it infuse and sip sparingly through the day. Really spicy but good for you.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is to advice you to stop smoking. But I guess, that will really not address your immediate problem. So here are a few tips that you may want to try out:

1. Drink a glass of warm water after you smoke. If its warm water not easy accessible, you can simply drink a glass of "room temperature" water.

2. Drinking warm tea (green tea) may help relieve the  irritation in your throat.

3. Chew on hard candy or cough drops. This is stop the irritation in throat and also moisten it a bit.

4. Suck a cube of raw sugar.

I hope this helps to some extent.
