"Smoker's cough" is primarily caused by **bronchitis**, which is often a result of prolonged irritation of the airways due to smoking. However, the other factors like **tar** from cigarettes can also contribute to respiratory issues, making it difficult to breathe and leading to persistent coughing. Nicotine and carbon monoxide do play a role in smoking-related health issues, but they are not the primary causes of smoker's cough.
So, while bronchitis is the main culprit, tar also significantly contributes to the condition. If you need a single answer based on your choices, **bronchitis** would be the best fit.
