    I gave up in Dec and yes in the second week I coughed up some pretty disgusting brown stuff which also left a revolting taste in my mouth. This is normal! A respiratory nurse confirmed that last week when I spoke to her. Its clearing the mucus from your lungs.

    Sounds like a chest infection.
    Get plenty of Vitamin C and if it doesn't clear up, some Antibiotics from your GP.
    Sounds like it's on it's way out if the mucus is more white than yellow.

    Re: smoking

    If you are talking the brown tar like stuff then you have just cleared the muck off your bacilli (!) which is normal. And to be honest if you have smoked for a long time then yes you have damaged your lungs BUT the good news is they will repair themselves if you are under the age of 40.
    If the stuff you are coughing up is green then you probably have a chest infection.
