Sorry if this sounds awful but need to know if anything is wrong.My mates stopped smoking and said that they coughed up all kinds of things from their lungs almost straight away. I have been stopped for 3 weeks and never even had a cough.They say it is your lungs clearing, does this mean mine are not clearing themselves. I smoked 20-25 a day for 31 years why wont my lungs kick out all the grime I selfishly put in them.Please tell me this is normal what I am having. The only other bad thing to happen is my gums are extremely sore and my lips have split as if they are chapped. Any advice would be appreciatedMy father stopped after 50 years with no coughing up of stuff. Nothing but beneficial effects and his lungs were fine.
It was his kidneys that got him in the end, nothing to do with cigarettes.I stopped almost three years ago after smoking for over 40 years. I have never coughed anything up.You-re not meant to be coughing things up...they-ve got the problems, not you!Well, the only thing I can think of is this. There are apparently little hair like projections on the mucous membrane lining the airways right down to the lungs. These function to waft up any particles and mucous away from the lungs and out of the air passages. When you smoke these little hair like projections get covered with I guess nicotine. Anyway, they stop working so you have less of an ability to get rid of gunk from the lungs. Maybe after smoking so long the little hairs become so damaged that even when you stop they don-t waft up the gunk from my lungs.
