Hi I haven't had a cig for 127 days every one tells me you feel so much better but I have got a cough which I never had as a smoker also I keep wanting to clear my throat and get rid of the mucus that I have a lot of especially first thing in the morning apart from that it has been a lot easier than I thought I went cold turkey
Cough after stopped smoking: Hi I haven't had... - No Smoking Day

Hello 250267
I don't think this is anything to worry about. I experienced it too and lots of other people here have reported the same thing. Apparently it's the last vestiges of ciggo-cr@p being cleaned from your lungs and it's common to get a cough at the 3-4 month mark.
With me it lasted for 2 to 3 weeks and then disappeared; hope yours clears up soon too. Obviously if it doesn't get any better then go to see your doctor. Better to be safe than sorry!

Welcome 250267 and congratulations on 127 days quit (can you confirm your quit date for your milestone badges) - I too quit cold turkey 18 months ago and never looked back. It is perfectly normal to develop a tickly cough as it is your cilia hairs growing back in your lungs and also the lungs clearing out and repairing - I had it throughout my 18 month quit and took it as a good sign.
