Dropping in to say and ask a question

Thrasher,

I've been a PAD smoker for over 30 years. I quit 2-1/2 months ago. Is it bad if I'm not coughing and not expelling a bunch of phlegm?

You sound like me never did the coughing in the morning and spitting up crud while I was smoking and still haven't after quitting and it's been 2 months cig free for me.

Papillion You can do it, thousands have. One item I found really useful in my journey is the search box at the top right corner of every page. It is keyword activated. I am just guessing you haven't experienced "vapors tongue" yet (yes it's real and can be found in the search box). Don't be shy about asking questions, the experts in here have helped me tremendously.

I smoked half a PAD for the last 10 years of my 20 year habit, and while I was smoking I would cough up little balls of gunk every few hours. When I started vaping I stopped coughing this stuff up, I never really went through coughing up a bunch of it, so it's a little different for everyone I think.

All these years I have been fairly active, playing sports, doing yardwork, going on hikes, etc. At my last physical the doctor did a lung capacity test (breathing into this device to lift a little ball until I couldn't exhale no more) and he said that my lungs were still in good shape.
