Just a quick question Is black/brown spots in mucus and in snot normal 1 month later after not smoking? I get overly worried about these type of things just want to make sure its nothing out of the ordinary.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Your body is getting rid of the tar that collected in your lungs and sinus areas.
Perfectly normal. No telling how long it will last, depends on how much you smoked.
It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's nothing to worry about.

Quite a few people do get that and it can take longer than you think to get rid of the junk that's actually in smoke but if you are worried I'd suggest seeing your doctor as we aren't medical experts here.

Yup, happened to me for a bit. Mine may have lasted a month or so, diminishing over time.

Back in 2010 it happened to me. Lasted about 6 months. I consumed extra vitamin C to clear my lungs. However, if it is troublesome for you, I suggest getting a check up.

I was a 2.5 pack a day smoker. This expulsion of lung cookies never happened to me when I switch to vaping, not even to a small degree. But others have reported that it has happened to them.

This happened to me when I completely quit smoking. I blew black tar looking stuff out of my nose...it was weird! Lol it is common though when you quit smoking whether you switch to vaping or not it can happen. It was about a month later after I quit smoking when it happened to me. If you feel nervous about it you can always go see a doctor about it Sometimes when we get scared or nervous about something, being examined by a doctor can help put those fears to rest

Yeah, I think I'm just overthinking it honestly I just get worked up over little things. Google just never helps though when the first thing that comes up is Lung cancer

Yeah, the internet is a terrible way to diagnose health issues. You always end up having symptoms of some terminal condition/disease.

I've seriously noticed that it only gives you the worst-case scenarios and you get that moment of panic lol.

Thanks everyone for the help I think I'm just over reacting

Someone else, a heavy smoker, just recently reported getting rather sick about 6 days after switching (almost entirely) to vaping. Waiting to hear back from him. Could have been an illness. Hard to say.

Lol googling symptoms never works out...lol I have googled symptoms before and by the end of it I am terrified and think I have 2 brain tumors, and 5 other things!! Haha!!!
I understand getting worked up over little things. I am a nervous and worrisome person, and it does not take much to get me worried!
