Spitting up fresh blood with chunks of what looks like liver, can that be bronchitis i don't have a cough, shortness of breath, but i do smoke lightly?

Possibly: You're describing "gross hemoptysis with clots" - this can be caused by bronchitis but if one of those clots gets stuck in your breathing passage, you're going to have trouble breathing. You need to go to an ER for this now.
