Hi. Quit cigarettes in Jan and started vaping. Last two weeks started coughing.. Could it be the ecig or are my lungs just recovering?

I googled coughing while vaping, but it says you only cough first week or so, which I didnt - until now.

I've been using an e-cig off and on for the last 12 months. I also used nicotine lozenges mainly. I stopped the lozenges at the end of Feb completely so have used the e-cig a lot more since then. I got a throat infection a couple of weeks ago which just about went with antibiotics, however now I've finished the antibiotics the sore throat is coming back and I have loads of cataagh, am beginning to think it's the e-cig causing the sore throat. They do tend to dry the back of your throat so if it's a tickly cough try drinking plenty of water.

Aup Anker, erm, I don't think we have met before, so a big warm welcome to this lovely quit support site :) A massive well done for staying quit since Jan :)

I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the e-cigs and what side affects you may get from them :o

Our bodies are all different and they recover in different ways, and times :) erm, may I ask you if you are coughing any phlegm up ? I'm sorry for asking you this, but if you are, then its probably your lungs cleaning themselves out, but if you have any doubts, then please go see your GP just to be on the safe side eh :)

Please keep us posted and any other questions, then you just shout out eh :)

Speak soon, Pete :)
