Everyone seems to have different experiences.......I haven't smoked tobacco for three months now...but I haven't coughed anything up from my lungs...I don't even have a smokers cough!. ....I did once quit tobacco smoking for a whole year and it was no different.....nothing was being coughed up from my lungs....yet without doubt my lungs are working better and already I am nowhere near as breathless as I was.

Neither my husband nor I are smoking e-cigs right now. I'll be starting soon. But my husband quit analogs a month ago and has not yet been coughing. I quit for a year, and I remember it taking about 2-3 mos. until I start coughing things up & it wasn't really that severe.

I had also taken something called nattokinase (an enzyme supplement) WHILE I was smoking. It's suppose to break down fibrous/dead tissue. With that I DID cough up a lung, and actually seemed to breath better afterwards. It also broke down scar tissue I had externally. Which was utterly amazing to me. Have no idea if it really scrubbed out my lungs.

I once quit for a year, and I never had a big lung purge. I hear ppl talk about black flecks, etc - never had any of that, just your basic bit of phlegm now and then. I was totally disappointed ;)
Nothing here either, not even phlegm.

That word just looks disgusting doesn't it?

If you were already coughing phlegm then likely it will stop once you start vaping.
But it's not like ecigs clean your lungs and a 20 yr.+ habit gets expunged..
I coughed or had that wheeze..when I smoked but not anymore with ecigs..so I know something has improved..!

I've been e-smoking for 2 weeks now. Not really coughed up much. I once quited cigs cold-turkey, for 2-weeks, and I did cough up a little ****. Now it's just very very little once or twice a day.

Yeah, nice try buddy but you gotta quit smoking the pot before you cough up everything.

lol just kidding, or am I?
That just might be it! I'm going to need to get a weed vaporizer (for real, they've existed for years).
