[|AI|]  Dear,First, I appreciate your effort to cut down on smoking. You will improve if you completely stop it. Well, you have not mentioned which inhaler you're using. For patients like you, I recommend, Changing to long acting preparation(albuterol) and steroid inhaler(beclomethasone and decor) as asthma has bad and good days with change of season/other factors sometimes.  If you feel no relief even after that, you may get chest X-ray done and oral steroids may be considered, if x-ray comes normal for infection. Take Care
