A member asked:
Why i have slime in the lung when i smoke a lot at once ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slime?: I'm assuming you are coughing up phlegm or sputum? This is indicative of bronchitis which is due to the inflamed condition of your breathing passages. Only stopping smoking will fix the problem.
