It would depend on where in the respiratory system the infection was, but coughing, especially a productive cough, is a major hallmark of lower respiratory infections. Chest pain is possible, but not guaranteed; same with fever. For an upper respiratory infection, I would expect a runny nose or nasal/sinus congestion.

Can you still exercise with a chest infection?

I would not recommend exercising with a chest infection. Cardiovascular strain resulting from a workout can potentially worsen your symptoms. Shortness of breath, mucus production, and dehydration can all increase with a high intensity workout. Take a few days off from your exercise regimen, and give your respiratory system the time it needs to recuperate. If the symptoms persist then you know it is time to see the doctor. Feel better!

Can you smoke when you have a fever?

You should not. A fever usually indicates that your body is fighting an infection. Smoking inhibits good circulation of the blood and that can prevent the healing work of your immune system from having full effect and prolong your recovery or worsen the condition. Obviously, it would also be contraindicated if the infection or the symptoms are in the respiratory system. Treat your body better and consider getting on a smoking cessation program if your health is important to you and to your loved ones.
