I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 77 and has had this persistent cough for a few weeks now. He smoked for 40 years but quit back in 2017. However, he still chews tobacco. Could his history with smoking or his current use of tobacco be causing the cough, or is it something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
