Poll on coughing.

[Vaporista]

I find it interesting that some people who quit smoking tobacco cigarettes and start vaping fall into two groups. Those who do experience a productive cough for between one and several months after quitting tobacco, coughing up the crud from their lungs known as "lung cookies" and those people who quit smoking and started vaping who have no cough and produce no crud or lung cookies whatsoever.
Some people still smoke and vape so there is a poll option for that.

No lung cookies for me

Same here, but I'd feel better if I'd coughed up a swamp to be honest....

Me too. I think my lungs would clear up a lot quicker if I coughed up 'something'.

I didn't start coughing until I had been vaping about a month. Coughed up a lot of stuff for a couple of weeks and then it stopped.

 

[Vaporista]

Could it be possible that the PG vapour is hardening the tar/gunk deposits in the lungs by drying the moisture content out?

 

[Deschain]

LOL, I hope not! I think you would have to be massively dehydrated for your lungs to dry up though.

I'm hoping that when the cilia start growing back, they will start to encourage the lungs to eject any gunk.

I've only been vaping a few weeks and I still smoke a few analogs a day. So far no exodus of lung cookies from me. I'm sure it's in there and I'd sure like to be rid of it. Though the process doesn't sound overly appealing.

Been vaping a week and only cough due to dryness or minor phlegm, clear, build-up in throat.

I would LOVE some lung cookies at this point. Havent had anything, its almost a month, and my lungs just feel FULLLL.

Last analog was on 6/23/09. Smoked for over 40 years. Not much cough while smoking, and not much when quit. Been vaping 5 months and only NOW is there a small productive cough. I think it takes time for some people to grow back the cilia in their lungs, and others seem to happen right away. Who knows why?

I've been vaping without any analogs since July. At first I was coughing up a lot of junk. For about a month now I still have a bit of a cough in the morning and still feel a bit of stuff in my lungs each morning. However, my breathing has improved a great deal. I can really tell when exercising.
