Hello lybrate-user,
regular smoking will lead to occasional coughing and congestion in the chest. Firstly you need to quit smoking. You must take steam inhalation atleast 2-3 times in a day. Steam will loosen the phlegm that might have stuck to the small air passages in the lungs. It will also help in releasing the phlegm from the air passages.

You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray to look for infection. If it's normal then you will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatemnt can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. Hope your questions were answered. Thanks.
