Can I develop a chronic cough from smoking Weed?
04.January, 2012
I have been smoking weed since the age of 15. I started smoking everyday when i turned 16. I am now 18 and i have my medicinal marijuana card and i smoke 3 bowls a day. I recently noticed that I cough every time I take a hit. It doesn’t matter if its from a pipe, joint, or blunt. I’ve also noticed that I cough up lots and lots of phlegm. The cough lasts all day and my parents are getting worried that my cough hasn’t gone away after 3 weeks.
I got emphysema from smoking weed, which includes chronic cough.
Weed doesn’t cause any other illness, it doesn’t cause lung cancer, you can’t die from it…etc etc
But the only thing you can get from smoking too much weed is emphysema, which most kids do not know, it usually starts with a cough that lasts up to 4-6 weeks.

Is steam good for a chronic cough with no mucus?

Possible allergy reaction to weather change, only happens at night.
Steam is good to get the mucus out by softening your secretions so if its a dry nagging cough the steam will help to make those secretions get soft and loosen up to get out.

Is it okay to use cough drops when quitting smoking?
09.November, 2011
I recently quit smoking, and as usual for most people I have an annoying cough. It’s not as bad as it could be though since I only smoked 2 packs a week on average. Is it okay to use cough drops or cough syrup to suppress the cough or do I need to let myself cough?
As your lungs are healing (the cila growing back) your lungs are trying to expel the crud that has been in them for the period of time you smoked. You should try and cough it out. If you are feeling ill in any other way I would advise seeing a doctor for a chest xray just to be sure. Good luck.
