[soldier1944]

the past few times after i smoke at night,ill go to sleep, then when i wake up i have this major cough and my lungs feel congested all day.then when i cough whatever it is up and spit it out,the saliva have a little bit of black in it.
this just confuses me,because i just started smoking in august... should i take a break or what?

sounds like tar in your lungs to me....well a substantial ammount of it....try finding ways to reduce tar intake...do you smoke cigs too?

[Mexicanhomeboy]

one time after i smoked i woke up with black lips without knowing it, could it be the tar?

[soldier1944]

no i dont smoke cigs

[slipknotpsycho]

well then i dunno it would be kind of unusual to get tar buildup after just months of smoking but it's not unheard of.

[soldier1944]

maybe its cus i smoke alot,atleast once a day for the past few months,thats probably why

dont mean to alarm you dude, but i've been smoking everyday for like 10 years and i've yet to cough up any black shit....nasty looking shit, yeah....green shit, yeah....brown shit.....yup...black, no.

Try a vaporizer for awile, and quit cigarettes if you smoke them

That's odd. I know friend's who cough up blood every morning because they smoke newports (rip up your lungs, AND infest it with tar and shit). Try not to smoke every day, it helps in the long run.

Well, after reading an encyclopedia a week ago, and learning about the respiratory system in Biology, a few months back, your alveolis seem to be clogged with mucus, which may be causing a minor infection. You should just give your lungs a break from smoking. This will give the alveolar macrophages-scavenger cells that gobble up smoke particles-time to begin some sort of lung repair.

Ed Rosensthal

The particles are held here for long periods of time-months, or even years, as succeeding generations of scavenger cells ingest the debris released by dying macrophages.

Invest in a vaporizer.
