I have had a cough for the better part of 40 year's. What a fool I have been. I can remember standing in line at Walgreens with a bottle of cough medicine and a pack of cough drops and then ask for 3 packs of cigarettes when I got to the cash register. The money I spent and the others around me that I possibly could have hurt with second hand smoke is hard for me to accept. I am normally a very respectful person. I'm ashamed of my past behavior. When I'm out in public and I smell smoke it is like a fine perfume, I don't ever ask someone to put the smoke out I just move, its not my mission to change the world. The reason I saw your post at 1am eastern time is I have to get up several times a night and take a breathing treatment. This is the price I pay for my actions and I'm grateful that for now this is my only sentence. My doctor says my xray is clear and that I can't undo 40 plus years of damage in 2 years. Even after everything I've told you I must admit I'm still tempted to puff every once in a while. Unbelievable. Smoking is the worst habit I ever had. The doctor can stop that cough in ten minutes with an injection of steroids followed by the pills. I also found some relief from Mucinex with the green label. Best of luck to you.
