Will someone who suffers from chronic bronchitis cough and spit all their life?

Chronic bronchitis is often caused by long-term smoking, and while treatments like inhalers and antibiotics can help manage the symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor if the symptoms worsen despite treatment. Adjusting or changing medications may be necessary for better effectiveness in managing chronic bronchitis.
