What Causes Breathlessness Due To Some Blockage Feeling?

I have been using smokeless tobacco for 7 months now. Recently, I have a loss of breath for no reason. It happens when I m sitting down. It feels as if half of my airway as become blocked. I think this May be due to swelling because the tobacco has irritated my throat, but it also may be cancer. What do you think?

Tobacco in whatever form is harmful. The breathlessness is related to the tobacco. As it causes inflammation in the airways causing the symptoms described by you. Kindly consult a doctor as you will require evaluation and treatment for the same. STOP SMOKING AS WELL.
