Avoiding Irritants
for Cough
Avoiding cigarette smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes and other airway irritants that trigger or worsen cough.
How it works
Airway irritants directly stimulate cough receptors and cause airway inflammation, perpetuating the cough reflex.
What to watch for
Passive smoke exposure is as harmful as active smoking for cough. Air purifiers may help indoors.
