HI
Thank for asking to HCMI
I really appreciate your concern the given history is suggestive of consequences of Reflux acidic problem as such you have a history of GERD so this would be more likely cause of your, itching in the throat, cough, forget about the thinking that this is happening because you have quit the smoking, this is not the case, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
