Can smog give you health problems?

Question:

I grew up in a very rural area in Oklahoma, and when I was 19 I moved to southern Calif. I have shortness of breath and cough up phlem after I eat, is that from the smog, no one wants to believe me when I tell them that I think it is, because I believe I did not grow up around it so I did not have an immunity to it, does that make sense?

Answers:
I dont think there is ever immunity to smog. the reason you cough up after you eat is that the swallowing kind of massages the esophagus and somehow the bronchs get involved and then you cough stuff up. smog=smoke and fog, you need to see a doc about the shortness of breath, you may have allergy or a constant state of mild bronchitis, etc, whatever, but something. go to the doc. People like family and friends arent docs and dont know. It doent count if they dont believe you. Take care of your health now so you can enjoy your whole life healthy.

Yes. Smog can cause asthma, bronchitus, and a host of other upper respitory as well as heart problems.
