What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking?
Can exposure you cigarette smoke cause a sore throat similar to that of streptococcus? It seems like every time I'm around cigarette smoke I get a sore throat, which the doctor has always identified and treated as strep throat. I am wondering if all along it has been a mild form of bronchitis or something similar.

Hi dear,
smoking has many side effects like bronchitis, sore throat, asthma, tuberculosis, lung cancer etc..
so it is possible to have sore throat after exposure to smoking.
Every time you exposed to smoking it affects your immunity and it makes you vulnerable to other infection.
So if possible to stay away from smoking.
Also smoking affects all the organ of body directly or indirectly.
It also increase the risk of heart attack.
Thank you
