I hear it happens to most folk that quit but it didn't happen to me. I smoked for 38 years and never had a cigg. cough. It would probably just kill me anyway with cancer. I've been off smokes for 3 months with the help of chantix. all the best

Same thing happened to me but it took about 3 months before my cough was loose and productive! I smoked for 38 years so maybe thats why? It will happen, trust me : )
Congrats on your quit and keep up the great work!
