 Hello,
It's obvious your husband needs to stop smoking. However, he may also need an antibiotic switch and/or a dose modification in his asthma treatment. A culture and sensitivity test will help suggest the best antibiotic to use. You should consult with his doctor on the possibilities above.
Regards,
