Smoking suppresses the action of the mechanisms that normally rid the lungs of mucous, and a lot of garbage builds up in there. Getting rid of it after quitting is normal and no cause for alarm. It's just your lungs doing the job of cleaning they were not allowed to do previously due to the effects of smoking.

Smoking suppresses the formation of mucus (phlegm). The overproduction is a natural rebound reaction. As long as it is clear, not greenish, you have nothing to worry about; it's just part of the healing process. If it doesn't stop in a few weeks, it might be a good idea to check with your doctor.
