Well I'm not a doctor, but I do know that after you quit smoking you occasionally cough up phlegm for anywhere up to a year after you quit. This is an effect from the lungs healing themselves.

Green phlegm can be a sign of a respiratory infection such as bronchitis, which can be exacerbated by smoking. Smoking damages the cilia in your airways, making it harder for your body to clear mucus. It's important to see a healthcare provider to determine the cause of your symptoms.


Can phlegm cause burping?

Phlegm itself doesn't directly cause burping, but it can contribute to conditions that may lead to burping. For instance, excess phlegm can lead to swallowing air while coughing or clearing the throat, which can result in burping. Additionally, post-nasal drip from phlegm can irritate the stomach, potentially increasing gas and causing burping as well.
