HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, smoker's cough is very likely and first thing you really need to do is stop the smoking, and second get done the x-ray chest it is jus to rule out some possibility of pulmonary disease, till then cough can be controlled with "Levocetirizine with Dextromethorphan" hope this helps take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
