Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you have just started smoking, your cough is mostly related to bronchitis. It is inflammation of airways. Actually any smoke can cause irritation and inflammation of the airways. This is common during initial days of smoking. So better to quit smoking as soon as possible. This is not good habit. Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system. You will need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
