Smoking when you have any kind of illness that affects any part of your respiratory tract (including sinuses) is a terrible, terrible idea. It definitely increases your chances of getting bronchitis, and if you already have a predisposition to bronchitis, it virtually guarantees it. If you're the kind of person like me, who always gets bronchitis after any respiratory illness, smoking will extend your bronchitis for days to weeks. DON'T do it!
