Should i be worried about my mother?!
Question: my mother has been coughing really bad lately,and i think its from her smokeing all the time.But the last time she went for a check up at the doctor,he said her lungs didnt even look like smokers lungs.But then again she is 42 years old so does the coughing maybe have to do with her age?

It sounds like "smoker's cough". Had it years ago. Now I'm on oxygen. Had a lung removed and they also told me that it did not look like I smoked. But I did for 25 years. I quit 8 years ago and I'm so glad I finally did.
On the other hand you said it like maybe this cough just started. It could be a sign of lung disease. If the cough keeps up, I would definitely get another opinion.
Good luck to you and your mother.
She could just have a virus which has caused some bronchitis. She could take a cough med which would help. Keep encouraging her to stop smoking every time the subject comes up because smoking makes any illness with a cough worse.
maybe she has a cold or something.
All smokers have a "smokers cough," which usually occurs worst as soon as they rise up from the bed in the morning, but can become periodic throughout the day. This also leads to multiple bouts of bronchitis and/or pneumonia. The best thing she can do is to quit smoking and there will be a significant difference in her breathing pattern/coughing.
