Cough when you give up smoking?!

Cough when you give up smoking?

Hi there

I have heard that when someon gives up smoking, they get a bac cough as the little hairs in their windpipes become unstuck of all the tar and muck that has collected there. Would someone who used to smoke 40 a day and now cut down to about 4 a day have the same cough?

When I gave up smoking 40-50 a day habit, I developed Bronchitis the Doc said it was my body cleansing itself and partially part of the withdrawals.
I tried to breathe through my nose as this warms the air and produces less of the coughing reflex.
Goodluck it is worth it.
