Are you a heavy smoker? If yes, then you probably know what a smoker’s cough feels like. A smoker’s cough is persistent and often even produces phlegm, causes chest pain, and sore throat.
Smoking both irritates and inflames your lungs, destroys their tissues, and results in lung cancer which makes up 25% of all cancer deaths in the United States.
Keep in mind that coughing up blood is one of the most common symptoms of lung cancer and should never be overlooked because early diagnosis makes a big difference in the recovery of a patient.
