It is highly unlikely that epilepsy would cause a cough of any kind. Epilepsy affects the brain, and although that in turn causes effects in other parts of the body, it would not cause a cough. The effects of epilepsy would only last during a seizure, whereas a chronic cough would be something that would be continuous. The cause of a problem cough would lie elsewhere.

What you think cause smokers to have a chronic cough?

Smokers often develop a chronic cough due to the irritation and inflammation caused by the harmful substances in tobacco smoke. These irritants damage the respiratory tract's lining, leading to increased mucus production and impaired ciliary function, which normally helps clear mucus and debris. Over time, this chronic irritation can result in persistent coughing as the body attempts to clear the airways. Additionally, smoking can lead to conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which further contribute to cough symptoms.
