Not normal: Bleeding is not normal. Smoking may have damaged your gums, throat, lungs. Can be quite serious. Glad you quit smoking, now go for health evaluations. See BOTH Dentist & Physician...you owe it to yourself. Let them diagnose cause of the bleeding and appropriate treatment. Don't blow this off.
