HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
During viral upper respiratory tract illness (the cold or flu virus), the inflammation of the respiratory tract can result in bleeding during the course of the infection.
It would normally resolve with the infection.
Smoking can cause changes to the respiratory tract that increase the risk of infection, wheezing and more dangerous changes if used consistently.
If you are worried about the potential effects of smoking then you can consider stopping using them. It may be difficult.
I hope this helps
