quit smoking 4 weeks ago

quit smoking 4 weeks ago and have been clearing my throat a lot more this last week. I've been bringing up phlegm with light-brown flecks in it. Is this tar or something else?

Congrats on your quit! It is natural to have a lot of phlegm and though I don't think mine had any color, it doesn't surprise me. Perhaps you need to talk to your doctor about it.
Keep it up and keep us posted.
