Since your husband is smoker, his smoke can definitely damage your lungs. This is called passive smoking. You are not taking smoke directly but indirectly smoke goes into your lung from others dmoking habit. And yes definately this will harm you and worsens your bronchitis. So adk your husband to quit smoking for the benefit of both of you. Enroll his name in smoking rehabilitation center.
