Answers:
yeah probably you can probably get rid of your cough and phlegm and continue to smoke but it would be harder than if you didnt smoke, smoking also makes you more suseptible to cough and colds because it aggravates the lungs and sinuses and therefore makes it harder for them to cope with illness, smoking bongs is ok depending on how you do it if you use it like a water pipe its good because it filters the smoke but if your hardcore and try to pull through the bong in one you actually use up alot more lung capacity than usual and therefore over a while this will lead to a build up of phlegm as when you breath normally you do not inhale as deeply when you rip the bong!.
i would suggest drinking alot more water than usual as this will help cleanse your lungs and keep you hydrated, as often the cause of a cough is simple dehydration!. give the bong a rest once in a while or just get it out on those special occasions, or use it as more of a water pipe and just sip it obviously depending on its size!. also get lots of fresh air even exersice will help clear your lungs, try smoking in the park i dont know where you live but if you can find a place to smoke outside its always better than hot boxing it all the time!. eating apples is good they contain an acid which is supposed to help with cleaning the lungs!. and lastly dont forget anti bacterial mouth wash keep your throat and mouth clean especially when you sleep will help alot as the build up of bacteria on the back of throat will be greater after smoking and is likely to lead to coughing and or a sore throat!.
hope this makes your smoking a more pleasurable experience, take it easy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

smoking anything will cause these kinds of problems so yes smoking marijuana may be the cause of your phlegm and cough!. bongs don't exactly make things better ESPECIALLY if you're the type that goes for big bong rips all the time!. you're filling your entire lungs with smoke and very little of anything else!. it's the smoke that's really damaging your lungs!.

don't allow this to become more of a problem than it should be!. try to smoke less often by eating your marijuana or even drinking it in the form of a tincture!. i have a friend who says she makes a killer pesto with marijuana in it so don't stick to the conventional pot brownies or muffins!. there are recipes all over for marijuana whatever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any time you introduce a hot gas into your lungs, it can cause damage, not to mention irritation!. Tobacco tends not to burn as hot as marijuana, so it is no surprise that irritation begins at a lower level of usage!.

Like has been suggested, quit for a month and see if it improves!. If it does, there's your answer!. If not, see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it could be, especially because when you smoke weed you are not using a good enough filter!. The particles of weed and smoke are entering your lungs unfiltered so you're just sucking all of that in which could, over time irritate your lungs and cause mucus and couch so it can help dis-spell some of the particles from your lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
