I noticed that I’ve started coughing a bit after working in my shop.
I think I’ve seen articles or reviews of dust masks in a publication and I hoping someone can lead me back to it.
I want a good one that filters the dust and doesn’t just end up steaming up my glassesl
Any comments would be welcomed.

Use a respirator. Google a safety equipment distributor in your area or find one on the internet. They are much less expensive than a woodworking store. I use a 3M respirator that fully seals around my nose and mouth and has a four point adjustable head harness. This is much more comfortable and easy to wear for longer periods of time.
Then you can get cartriges for anything from dust to chemicals and solvents for about $2 a piece. That way you can use you respirator for everything from milling to finishing and just change out the inexpensive cartriges.
Also your glasses won't fog up!
