Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of acute bronchitis is more in your case. Cigarette smoke and weeds can cause irritation and inflammation of the airways and produce bronchitis. This acute bronchitis can cause breathing difficulty. So better not to smoke cigarette again. Also don't do weeds again. Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You might need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids on the basis of PFT report. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
