Hey MollyMoo. What you described is not completely unique. You may, for example, not have had much of a smoker's cough until after you quit smoking. It's part of your respiratory system's recovery process. Your body is trying to expel the crud in your lungs. The first several weeks are the most dramatic. The human body has an amazing resilience and ability to normalize itself after having been subjected to years of abuse. Congratulations on quitting!
