How much blood is normal to cough up after stopping smoking?
The last time I quit smoking I coughed up blood too? This time I quit for 2 weeks without any problems till last night when I started coughing up blood, I coughed up enough to fill a small sized bathroom solo cup. I feel fine today lungs just a little irritated though.

Surely you are joking. If not, you better high tail it over to the ER.

This could be from smoking, or something other than that. It is probubly a good idea to go to a doctors office or hospital just to get it checked out,

I have been smoke free for a month now. I didn’t have that issue. After smoking MANY years. If I were you I would call my Dr. Better safe than sorry. Good Luck!

Coughing up blood is absolutely never normal, esp. in such a large amount. See your doctor as soon as possible!

You should never cough up blood–it is always abnormal. It could be due to chronic bronchitis from the cigarettes but also be do to more serious conditions like blood clots, infections and even cancer.

It is not normal to cough up blood at any time. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. If I were you, I would go to the ER.
