Coal dust causes pneumoconiosis, bronchitis and emphysema in exposed workers and neighbors. When you inhale unnecessary amounts of coal dust you may get coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Chronic exposure to coal dust may result in symptoms of bronchitis and emphysema. In smokers, the risk will be higher since smoking damages the bronchial tree making it easier for viruses to cause infection. Smoking also slows down the healing process, so it takes longer for you to get well.
