A member asked:
I stopped smokeing 2 weeks ago and haven't coughed up any tar how long does it take?

Good JOb!: One does not "cough up" tar from the lung. The irritation it had caused to your Lung and Air passage is now being repaired. Recurrent dry cough or at times excessive mucus production and Shortness of breath; if any of these were the problem- will be better. Insomnia, Heartburn, irritability are some of other symptoms- would improve. Your fighting power against bacteria and Viruses would improve.
