scooter asked in HealthMen's Health · 1 decade ago

my boyfriend coughs up black clumps of junk...what is it?

Yeah, I know it's gross. He's been a smoker for way too many years, but I have do and don't have this.

He'll start coughing til he just about gags, then he has to spit out this hockey puck sized lump of grossness. Is it just sputum?

He was in the hospital a few years back for pneumonia, and was checked for lung cancer-negative, and he has had this cough-y thing for about 10 years.

Any insight?

    That's normal. It's just what happens when you smoke too much.
