Many assume that a Cold is caused by the changes in weather, but there are other reasons directly related to 'Catching a Cold'. 1. If you 'believe' you will catch a cold, you will. Mental attitude has a lot to do with how you feel.
2. Many people do not realize that a cold can be induced by stomach acid being expelled upwards while sleeping, then breathed back into the lungs, creating a cough (mucus in the lungs). If you are a smoker, chances are you don't respond to foreign liquids in your lungs the way that a non smoker would, so you can develop more sever coughs and other accompanying symptoms.
3. Lack of humidity in the air, caused by either A/C, or heating units, can cause the hair in you nose, to become brittle and ineffective at straining debris out of the air, resulting in dust and other items being inhaled. This again will create mucus in the lungs.
