Brief Answer:
Definitely you should stop smoking.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are most probably caused by smoking, you should stop smoking and could use e.g. Codeine 3x30 mg/ day to ease your cough.
Position related cough needs a cardiac (heart) function evaluation too, especially in your case with past cardiac problems.
