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 else can I help you with?

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 long cilia that protrude from the nasal epithelium and are bathed with mucus?
The long cilia that protrude from the nasal epithelium and are bathed in mucus are called respiratory cilia. They help to trap foreign particles and move them out of the respiratory tract, clearing the airways and protecting the lungs from potential harm.
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
