Causes
smoking paralyzes the cilia
toxins settle into lungs which
causes an inflamed reaction
Coughing is the way your lungs try to
get rid of all the toxins from smoke.
When did it start?
During the night, these cilia
begin to repair themselves
As the cilia are called upon to catch and remove
the accumulated toxins, the result is an increase
in coughing upon arising in the morning.
