Second hand smoke can even result in accumulation of irritants in the air passage which in turn can result in bronchitis.Is Bronchitis contagious?It is extremely true. It is contagious disease. The virus can transfer the disease when you sneeze or cough. In the initial stage, there is a swelling in the air passage. At this time, there is no formation of virus. When the bacteria released by the patients through sneeze and cough spreads through the air, the disease gets spread to others around.

For example, if you had a respiratory infection that was caused by a contagious bug, and then the infection led to pneumonia, someone else could have caught the bug from you.
