Ex smoker's cough?

[glasvapour]

Hi

I gave up smoking 8 months ago after 45 years 30 a day habit, I felt the difference i.e., not coughing up my guts, morning and night, within about 2 weeks, I was amazed how quickly the cough and phlegm disappeared, long may it continue

Wow that's amazing after such a long time, freedom smells good doesn't it...I hope I'm still not smoking after 8 months, bloody love vaping, annoyed that I'm only coming to it now they want to clamp down on it though!

Ha, no and with good reason as I remember...

I guess it depends in part on how bad your smokers cough was before you quit, I certainly cough a lot less now than I did 6 or 7 months ago and my nose isn't permanently blocked like it used to be. I did notice after a few weeks that I was coughing up a lot of mucus and my nose was running like a tap but this was probably down to the cilia in my lungs etc. recovering. If I vape too much I can cough up a bit of mucus/phlegm but I believe this is normal and shows that your airways are now more able to clear themselves.

Well no. But then again if someone dropped a boat on my head while I was eating my lunch I'd probably be pissed too [emoji39]

I think I need to start drinking more water, have had the runny nose thing too but put that down to the steam...either way I feel so much better and able to take a proper breath in after such a short period of time...it's all good...

I like your thinking. Very philosophical.
