My boyfriend has been chewing tobacco regularly and drinking alcohol occasionally since he was 18 years old. He's 42 now and coughs a few times a day. Could the nicotine be the cause of the cough? Can a person who chews tobacco get a "smoker's cough?"
I used to smoke, drink heavily, and do drugs in a major way. I am now 42. I have an occasional glass of wine (no more than a three or four per week). I quit smoking and do not do drugs anymore. Will my past behavior affect how I age?
