- decebalus1 7y agoAnecdotally, it would make sense, right? Back when I used to smoke, whenever there was the flu season I went full blown bronchitis most of the time, while the rest of my family had only mild symptoms. Smoking is already known to aggravate any flu symptoms to the point of escalating to a more serious condition.
