I've stopped smoking i'm bringing up plhem with black specks what are the specks the plhem is thick what can i do to loosen it.?

Hydration: The specks may be residual soot particles now being expectorated since your lungs are in improving health. Increase your hydration to thin out phlegm consistency. If specks don't clear up, see your doctor.
