Could cigarette smoke trigger my sinus infections and a previous bronchitis?
I was just piecing things together.. and wondering..
In december, while I had a cold, I was exposed to a room FULL of cigarette smoke for about 4 hours. Later that week, I developed "almost-bronchitis."
Later in March, I developed a sinus infectino a short time after being exposed around cigarette smoke. Same with the one I had in April.
Two weekends ago, I was in cigarette-smoke filled areas for 4 days in a row, and I have been having cold-like symptoms (no infection though) since then.
Could cig smoke really be causing all of this? Howcome I always get hit the hardest by it, my friends never have problems? I do have seasonal and regular allergies.. grr just want some opinions/knowledge/experiences. Thanks! Additional Details I don't smoke myself.
Absolutely it will trigger a reaction, especially if you're susceptable to them to begin with.
Allergies seem to weaken the immune system, leaving you open to get more illnesses.

Sinus infection caused by Dental problem
by Marlon D. Ludovice
Everyone has a sinus on each side of their nose called the maxillary sinus. Wherein, the roots of the upper back teeth go into the right and left maxillary sinuses. This can cause a problem during sinus season. If a sinus has an infection, it can fill up with fluid and cause the entire sinus lining to become inflamed. If encountered by patients they will feel pain in their upper back teeth along with a metallic taste in the mouth. Threatening a major dental problem if continuously endure.
Both of the maxillary sinuses drain into the nose. Nothing much really happens in the sinus except when the exit into the nose is blocked. Swelling in the nose can cause blockage of the sinus outlet and fluid builds up in the sinus. And when the sinus fills up with fluid, bacteria can grow in the fluid because the sinus is warm, dark, and moist. The problem started with the nose blocking up and this is usually caused by nasal and breathing allergies.
This concerns the dentists. Because continued nasal and sinus problems can lead to poor dental development. Wherein, if problems transpire longer can make doing orthodontics very difficult. It is necessary to consult dentist if symptoms persist. Regular check up will help you monitor your status about the disease.
But for the short term, a patient can spray their nose with sea salt spray. This moistens the nasal area and can loosen the snot blocking the sinus exit. Take hot showers and breathe in the hot spray to moisten your nose. Finally, fill up your tub and just let the water evaporate so that the air will stay moist. Lots of sinus problems happen when the heating or cooling systems dry out the air because this dries out your nose.
Caring for your nose and your teeth is the most helpful thing to do in order to prevent at least the effect and occurrence of a sinus infection. So if you are afraid to encounter such terrible sickness…love your whole body that is the least thing to do!
Well, you could definitely have an allergy to cigarette smoke. Asking why it would affect you and not your friends is like asking why some people get lung cancer and others who smoke all their lives do not. Everyone's body/ immune system/ and allergic triggers (if any) are different.
When I use to be a smoker, I had chronic sinus infections, sore throats, and upper respiratory infections. Much, much healthier since I (and finally my husband) quit. Second hand smoke can be just as hard on a person's lungs and respiratory system. Do your very best to avoid it if you can. Best of luck to you friend. Stay healthy.
