Cough

[LKevinl]

It’s been almost a month smoke free. I have developed a smokers hack. Never had one before. Is this normal ? Lungs cleaning up? No pain, breathing fine. Is it temporary.

yes, I am negative for Covid 19

I found this from our Mayo Clinic team:  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/community/expert-advice/blog/2020/04/20/smoker-s-cough-and-stoppi... which helps to explain what you are experiencing.

Hope you find it helpful!

It was normal for me. As long as there's nothing medical going on, ride it out.  Your lungs are healing.

I didn't experience it myself, but many quitters on the site have.  It's can be your cilia recovering.  Of course, if it continues too long, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. 

Congrats on almost one month.  That's fabulous.

Did not experience such during my quit. However I have heard of this from my friend who was on quit same time.

May be it would go during the course of time, if not better consult doc.

All the best !
