Can a sore throat be caused by going to a bar when u dont smoke?


Question:
I hate smokers, never smoked in my life but a few days ago a friend of mine was hungry so we went to a restaraunt but they only had the bar open, they allow smoking in there. Anyhow being around smoke bothers me, it gives me a headache. Anyhow the next day I awoke with a really sore throat, not like a normal sore throat. I am also really flemmy. DOes this happen if you go to smoking places?

Answers:
A smoke filled atmosphere can cause a sore throat and make you feel flemmy. You are inhaling irritants from the air. I am an ex-smoker and I now find that smoke really bothers me too. Fortunately I live in just outside of Toronto, Canada and anti smoking laws have banned smoking inside of establishments. The only environments that allow it are in private homes.

Other Answers:
Yep. That's happened to me. Nowadays I have to avoid all smoky environments because it really aggravates asthma.which I didn't know I had until a few months ago.
Something that helps my sore throats are horehound hard candies.they're fairly hard to find, but they help. If you like licorice, you might like these. If you can't find horehound, the plain Ricola drops should do the trick since they also have a little horehound in them.

Absolutely! I was a smoker and I had constant sinus issues. When I went to the doctor, he told me that if I would quit smoking and not be around smoke, my sinus problems would go away.

He was right. Now if I am around smoke, I get the sore throat and I feel like I have a bad cold. I just drink a lot of water and it goes away soon.
