A 45-year-old man presented with a complaint of an increasingly persistent cough that produced moderately thick, white mucus. The patient stated that the cough had been present for several years and was particularly severe in the morning on awakening. His wife was more bothered by the cough than he was and had sent him to the physician so that he might be convinced to stop smoking.
