Never really coughed when I smoked except during allergy season. Started coughing up a bit of gunk at about 1 month for a few days. Then it stopped. Now at 3.5 months or so, I have started coughing up a bit of gunk again.
That being said, if it concerns you, see a doctor.

Assuming you were a smoker, Yes, this is actually normal. Your lungs are clearing the tobacco gunk out. As most recommend, drink more fluids and keep hydrated.
yea i was coughing up junk for almost a year,it started a few weeks after quitting and slowed down after about 3 months.
Don't be..
After how long I had smoked (36 years), and What I smoked for the last 4 years (little cigars - yes.. full inhales like a cigarette...), I expected to cough up a tar pit.. heh.. no where near, so I suspect it will hit me hard at some inconvenient time in the near future..
Jogging is helping me to get rid of it. I would imagine that any other mildyl cardiovascular exercise would help as well.
I've agreed to go jogging soon...even bought me some shoes, jogging pants and t-shirts (boy is this vaping thing getting expensive!) so hopefully, that'll help... would it be wrong and kinda weird to take a photo of it?! I figure if I ever have kids I could show them the photos of the crap I coughed up and put them off for life! lol!x
Might be part of my problem (non-problem?).. Why I'm not coughing up that tar pit.. I've always been active. So, while the military has destroyed my knees, it may have helped to keep the lungs clearer.... I've only slowed down for the last year or so, so there may not be that much in there... can only hope
You could cough onto a giant black canvas and probably call it art, at least in New York
Dont push yourself too hard with the jogging, my doctor whos also a fitness nut, pointed me to a site that recommends jogging for one minute followed by walking for 4 minutes and then repeat throughout your circuit.
ive stopped coughing up yellowish black stuff , now i occassiony cough up clear thinish liquid however . but ive only been clean for 3 months or so.
I coughed up gunk for a couple of months after I stopped smoking - then all has been good since.
Am still coughing up gunk, and it's been 10 months plus since I gave up the tobacco. I was however a smoker for 40 years plus, reaching 2.5 packs a day for the last 15 - 20 years. I switched to e-cigs in the end of March 2012, (having gone a month cold turkey) and settled on the Logic brand as the best I have found. 5 pack refills last me around a week..with the 1.8% nicotene content. However I have noticed that the refills and even the stand alones had a lot of variation...some lasting longer than others, some not working at all right out of the package (production workers vaping and then packaging maybe?). However they have gotten better in the past 5 months, although still some incosistency in the vapor.
Glad to see I am not alone with the "gunk", and happy that it's not a by product of vaping. Dr. told me it could take a year plus for me to clear out the lungs given how much and how long I smoked.
