itchy throat after quitting smoking

[eddybenz]

hi i have quit smoking for about a mounth now after smoking for a little over a year. I now get a itchy throat and cough little phlem though. i do get it worse if i smoke hooka which is still tobaco but very low nicotine 0.5% and no tar 0.0% cause it is filtered through water. i have herd that it is normal because your throat and lungs are clearing. So my question is is the itchy throat and cough normal after quiting smoking and when i smoke hooka am i causing damage or why is the itch and cough a little worse when i do hooka. also my throat feels a little tight but i dont have problems breathing at all
