It's now a year since I quit smoking cigarettes. After I quit I used to cough up brown phlegm but now it's a light greyish colour and a lot less. I still smoke a bit of weed and exercise almost daily. Should I still be worried?

Its been a year since I quit smoking cigarettes. After I quit I used to cough up black/brown phlegm but now it's a light brown greyish colour exactly a year later. I still smoke a little bit of weed. Is it normal to still be coughing up brown phlegm?
