Brief Answer:
You could be having allergy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Since you have smoked in the past, your airways may have become sensitive as smoking brings about permanent change in the walls of the airways. Beside this, you could also be having allergy which again makes the airways sensitive. These are the reason which may be making you uncomfortable in and around any kinds of smoke, fumes or strong smells.
Since your symptoms do not appear to be troublesome, you do not need any treatment at present. However try taking montair lc tablet for some time. If in any smoky or dusty atmosphere, if discomfort is too much, take levolin inhaler which will relieve your symptoms. Some deep breathing exercises will also help. Avoid dust and smoke as much as possible.
Hope this answers your query. If any questions, will be happy to help.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Allergy cannot be cured, it can only be controlled
Detailed Answer:
No that`s not the right presumption of my answer. Allergy can also damage the airways and can come up again and again in any severity.
As of now your symptoms do not warrant more treatment than that I have mentioned but allergy cannot be eradicated, it can only be controlled.
You will have to handle the situation as it comes.
Ofcourse, you have to avoid smoking to avoid any further damage to your lungs.
