Can stop smoking: There is never a need to smoke anything, other than smoking baby-back ribs (those are yummy). Just be strong and quit... and never go near the stuff again. One may have to avoid hanging around smokers (that's just a sacrifice one can make for a better life).

Recovery: The appearance of mucus with brown particles is a sign that the airways are recovering from the chronic exposure to smoke.

Congratulations on making the healthy change.

Yes: If you have ever been in or near a fire, and are inhaling smoke, you end up coughing, your throat and even lungs get sore.
