Some medications can have dehydrating effects also, so consider consulting your physician or pharmacist regarding your medications and dry throat symptoms. Smoking is a bad choice for about a million other reasons already, but it -- and other throat irritants like dust and air pollution -- can cause dry throat.  If you suffer from dry throat (and even if you don’t, for that matter), limit your exposure to throat-irritating pollutants. Breathing through an open mouth not only exposes the back of the throat to drier external air, it also means incoming air bypasses the typically moist environment inside the nose.
