I'd switch the snake over to a newspaper substrate and see if it stops sneezing in a few days. This could serve to isolate if it's a respiratory infection or just irritation caused by dust.
I've had "sneezy" snakes stop wheezing after changing their particle based substrate to newspaper.
On the other hand, as Doug said, it could be the very early signs of an upper respiratory infection. Sometimes these can be cured simply by giving the snake some additional heat.
You mentioned 80 degrees. The snake should have a "hot spot" in the upper 80's - as well as a cooler area in the mid-70's.
