Obviously, it is from smoking and not the gas heat. You really need to quit so you can restore your health. It is that simple. If you are still smoking, no medicine is gonna clear up what you have.

Actually, both things could be a factor.

Pollution can cause/aggrevate respiratory ailments...as can the dryness of forced-air heat.

My grandfather died from emphysema- he was a very light smoker- but drove a cab for half his life in New York City- and it was likely the traffic fumes that caused his emphysema more than the smoking.

OP, if you stop smoking (ir greatly cut down) your condition will improve somewhat. Sounds like you already have emphysema...which will not go away...but the bad effects can be lessened by seriously reducing/quitting smoking and exposire to irritants.

Since you are already a smoker I would suggest trying smoking mullein and white willow bark. The mullein will stop coughing until congestion is ready to come up and will make it come up easier. Just replace a cigarette or two everyday, the taste takes a little getting used to but it really helps me when I trade a cig for my mullein. The white willow also helps with headaches which will make cutting back easier. You can get the mullein and white willow at the Gypsy Closet in Horse Cave. Good luck to you.
