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.

What do smokers do to remove the build up of mucas from the lungs?
Smokers often try to clear mucus from their lungs by coughing, which helps expel the accumulated phlegm. Some may also use over-the-counter expectorants to thin the mucus, making it easier to cough up. Additionally, practices such as steam inhalation, staying hydrated, and engaging in physical activity can aid in mucus clearance. However, the most effective long-term solution is to quit smoking, as this reduces mucus production and improves lung health.
Can quitting smoking after 42 years cause you to spit up clear mucas and if so how long can it go on?
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.

Do your lungs bleed when you smoke a cigarette?
When you smoke a cigarette, harmful substances can damage the delicate tissues in your lungs, potentially leading to inflammation and bleeding over time. While healthy lungs do not bleed from smoking in a direct manner, chronic smoking can cause various lung conditions, such as bronchitis or emphysema, which may involve blood in mucus or other serious complications. The damage accumulates gradually, contributing to long-term respiratory issues. Therefore, while acute bleeding isn't typical, the risk of lung damage and associated symptoms increases significantly with smoking.
What is the substance that smokers cough up?
Smokers typically cough up a substance known as phlegm or mucus, which can contain tar, toxins, and other debris accumulated in the lungs from cigarette smoke. This mucus is a natural defense mechanism of the respiratory system, attempting to clear out harmful substances. The presence of this cough is often a sign of chronic bronchitis or other respiratory issues associated with long-term smoking. Over time, this can lead to more serious health problems, including COPD and lung cancer.

Why are the respiratory system can be damaged by smoking?
When you inhale smoke, you're taking in substances that can damage your lungs. Over time, your lungs lose their ability to filter harmful chemicals. Coughing can't clear out the toxins sufficiently, so these toxins get trapped in the lungs. Smokers have a higher risk of respiratory infections, colds, and flu. In a condition called emphysema, the air sacs in your lungs are destroyed. In chronic bronchitis, the lining of the tubes of the lungs becomes inflamed. Over time, smokers are at increased risk of developing these forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term smokers are also at increased risk of lung cancer. Withdrawal from tobacco products can cause temporary congestion and respiratory pain as your lungs begin to clear out. Children whose parents smoke are more prone to coughing, wheezing, and asthma attacks than children whose parents don't. They also tend to have more ear infections. Children of smokers have higher rates of pneumonia and bronchitis. Best regards, Aleh Aprelenka
