With any disease, it is always the base or underlying problem that needs to be addressed first in order to cure the disease. Respiratory diseases can be directly linked to the causes and affects of snoring in a wide array of ways as there are many varieties of respiratory problems. In all of these cases however, the respiratory problems need to be resolved in order to be rid of the snoring.

Habitual smokers have the most damaging, and of course avoidable, cause of snoring and respiratory problems. Cigarette smoking is not only harmful to the lungs but it also damages the throat and sinuses. It also causes inflammation of the nasal passages. The toxicity of cigarettes that is mixed with the bloodstream and the smoke that is filled with chemicals damage the mucus membranes of the airways.

The constant damage from chronic smokers causes continuous swelling and inflammation of the respiratory passages indirectly causes nightly snoring. This is also true for people who are exposed to the harmful second hand smoke that they breathe from the air around them. There is a large amount of proof that direct and even indirect contact with cigarette smoke is the leading cause of respiratory illness and diseases and also moderate to severe snoring. There has been detailed research that has discovered that the addictive chemical in cigarettes called nicotine causes long term damages to nerve endings throughout all the airways in the body. The changes of a smoker being a habitual snorer are very high because of all the damaging effects of cigarettes.

A person can get one of the many respiratory diseases and become a chronic snorer from the quality of air and other environmental dangers that are around them. These combined health and breathing issues can arise when the quality of air is polluted around where a person lives or works. If you live in one of these polluted environments, you may have little choice but to breathe that bad air, unlike the personal choice for those who smoke cigarettes or choose to be around second hand cigarette smoke.

There are many people who do not smoke and live and work in a healthy breathing environment but can still snore due to allergies. The allergies for some can be seasonal and so the snoring can also be temporary. Other people have allergies that are caused by animal hair, dust, or microbes in the air where they live or work. These allergies can cause other respiratory problems and of course, snoring. Asthma has recently been discovered to cause chronic snoring. Asthma can be combined with other respiratory problems including bronchitis which is inflammation of the trachea.

The common issue with all of these cases is the need to correct the base underlying respiratory issues. There can also be secondary solutions for eliminating snoring by using the many anti snoring treatments that are out nowadays. These over the counter remedies can stop the disturbing nightly snoring until the respiratory problem can be fully resolved.
