Hello
There is a definite relationship between red eye and smoking.
Chronic smoking for long time can lead to hyperemia of conjunctiva leading to redness of eyes.
The treatment is by stopping smoking and use of decongestant eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
