Suggest Risk With Smoking During Bronchitis
Hi, I had acute bronchitis for the last week. However, it's practically cleared up now, and I was wondering at what stage would It be alright for me to smoke again. I know the health risks of smoking, and that it could potentially worsen the condition. However, I'm not willing to give up, and I wanted to know when smoking would be possible, thanks.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you are right about relapse.
If you start smoking immediately after getting alright, possibility of relapse of bronchitis is very very high.
So better not to start smoking for at least 1 month.
It is always better not to restart smoking but since you are aware of harmful effects and still wants to continue smoking, you can continue smoking after 1 month.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
