I would like to know how you can cure it also. If there is a cure.

Answer
There are several reasons why someone may snore and it varies among everyone.

Some of the major reasons has to do with sleep apnea.

Another major issue is extra tissue in your throat vibrating causing the snoring sound.

Some other minor reasons include the following:

These are just to name a few causes of snoring.
