Hi
Welcome to HCM
REad your prob, smoking is cause of bronhitis, as per your symptoms you have have been suffering from bronchitis so cough occur at morning, for it you shouls do chest physiotherapy only. if cough is untorable then start bronchiodilator after advising your doc. after quite smoking these persist for 6 to 10 month . so do not worry it subside after that period.
