Q: Painfull Nose and Is smoking making me sneeze ?

Hiya,
Went to the doctors today and got nothing out of it, just wondered if anyone could recommend me on what to do!
for the last few years i am prone to sneezing,, alot. not too sure what causes it, doesnt seem to be at certain times or anything so not sure if it coz im allergic to anything.
Now comes the embarracing part... i bite my nails constantly and since around 3 years ago i have got a realy bad habbit of pokeing the roof of my mouth with the bitten nail (i know what a plonker) anyways about 3 years ago one of the nails went right up inside of the roof of my mouth, with alot of discomfort i managed to get it out. this then turned into a habit and i have now got a fairly large hole in the roof of my mouth which i am able to suck air through from my nose.
have been to the doctor about 2 years ago and was refered to the dentist, got there and was too embarraced to go through it again so he assumed something had just hurt it and i stupidly agreed.
for the last year now it feels like my nose is drying up, dont know if the sneezing or the hole have anything to do with it but it is very painful.
went to the doctors today and she said she would refer me to the throat ear and nose clinic but i would need to stop smoking before she will send me. she thinks that smoking is making me sneeze??? and that it is the cause for my painfull nose?? have agreed to go to the half hour meeting every week in order to get the patches but didnt tell her about the hole in my mouth, not sure what to do now.
sorry for going on lol, bit of a long story,
cheers!

Please tell someone about the hole in your mouth! It could be really beneficial for your treatment and your problem. And it IS absolutely crucial that you expose your embarrassing secret because it could cause you even more pain.
