February 24, 201610 yr I worry now alot about the tar in my lungs from smoking for so many years. When I quit I coughed (and not much) for only the first two days, that was it. Anyone else cough this tiny amount with their quit?
February 24, 201610 yr I did not cough at all. I had other symptoms such as bleeding gums and dizziness. I don't thinking coughing or not coughing after quitting is a sign?
February 24, 201610 yr I didnt have a cough either...after 52 years of smoking... But the immediate relief I had in my ankles was amazing..all bodies are different... Nothing to worry about...x
February 24, 201610 yr I didn't cough either. Don't worry Karen. Your body is starting to heal itself. It knows what it needs to do. All you have to do is keep going x
February 24, 201610 yr Yeah in all my quits I've never had a cough but the longest I've gone as a smoker is about two years before stopping for several months. My husband had a bit of coughing after his last quit - and he had been smoking for a 20 years or so - It sounds like it may vary a bit from individual to individual.
February 24, 201610 yr I never had a cough at all. I know some do and an expected I would as well but NOPE! Sunny is right, your body knows what it needs to do to heal. :)
February 25, 201610 yr I don't remember coughing up some gunk two times in one day, very small amounts but that was at least two months after I quit, if I remember correctly. I guess I had knocked out enough cilia that it took that long for them to regenerate/start working again. I remember hoping that I would be coughing up massive amounts of gunk but it wasn't hardly anything. Some people cough up a ton of crap while others only cough up a little or none. I would be more concerned if you had a cough that hung around for a long time. ;)
