Normal: It is common to cough more after quitting cigarettes after a long period of smoking. This is because the lungs are trying to heal by expelling all the tar that had built up. However, it is always wise to consult you doctor if you are coughing nonstop or especially if you are coughing up any blood. Congratulations on quitting. You'll be better for it in the long run!
