"Quit Coughing Up a Lung and Get Rid of Your Smokers Cough with the Electronic Cigarette"

Are you tired of waking up in the morning and starting the whole coughing routine? Maybe you only started getting a smokers-cough and you only cough for a couple of minutes, or even worse, maybe you are coughing for 30 minutes, an hour, or even longer? Maybe you not only cough in the morning but throughout the day. Whatever the case, are you tired of it and want to do something about it? Of course, to get rid of a cough or any other issue, it usually helps to understand a little about what is causing it, so let’s jump into that for a minute.

We cough when our airways are disrupted from their normal state due to an inhalation of toxins, a virus (common cold), or other bacteria. Our body tries to eliminate these harmful substances through the use of cilia (tiny hair-like formations lining our airways) which force out these toxins by producing mucous to encapsulate them and move them out of our body by “coughing” them up out of the airways and into our mouth where they can be spit out or swallowed.

"Tobacco smokes destroys the bacteria fighting linings of your lungs"

Let me give you an analogy to make this a little clearer by comparing it to an automatic carwash. The cilia in your airways are like the rotating brushes on an automatic carwash. When your car is dirty, you take it to the carwash and the rotating brushes go up and down your car and sweep away all the dirt and grime that has built up on your car from driving it. Just like the rotating brushes, the cilia in your airways are continually working to remove bacteria and other foreign debris from your lungs and airways.

When you smoke, you are inhaling a tremendous amount of toxins which the cilia are attempting to remove. However, lots of these toxins are very damaging and begin to impede the process of the cilia working to clear your lungs. When the cilia are damaged to the point that these toxins begin accumulating in your airways, your secondary response to clear them kicks in and you begin coughing. The more damage you cause to your cilia, the worse your coughing becomes as coughing becomes your only means of clearing these toxins from your airways.

"I wake up and cough for ten minutes straight -- it's horrible"

Smokers-cough is often worse in the morning. This is because when you sleep at night, the cilia get a little break from you inhaling more toxins and they do what they can to start cleaning up your airways. This leads to the production of mucous to help in eliminating these substances. When you wake up, you have all this built up mucous in your lungs to clear so you begin to cough.

Of course, the smokers-cough is pretty annoying, but you are also putting yourself at a greater health risk by damaging your cilia with the constant onslaught of toxins. With these cilia not working properly, you are greatly increasing your chances of other respiratory infections as they cannot do their primary purpose of clearing germs from your system. This may also make it more difficult to recover from colds and put you at risk of bronchial infections.

The toxins in cigarettes are plentiful and they are going to hurt you in more ways then you can imagine. They cause numerous health complications and create an atmosphere for destruction.

So you are probably wondering how the Electronic Cigarette is going to help you get rid of your smokers-cough. Well, it is very easy actually. Once you rid yourself of the constant inhalation of toxins from tobacco cigarettes, your smokers-cough will begin to go away.  The E-cig has almost none of the horrible, harmful toxins that tobacco cigarettes have.  No tar, no carbon monoxide.

So once you begin smoking with the Electronic Cigarette, your body will naturally begin to reverse the damage done by years of smoking tobacco cigarettes. Your cilia will begin to function normally again, which at first, can cause you to cough more. The reason is that as they begin functioning, they start working overtime to begin clearing out all those toxins that have been accumulating over time.  This will cause an increase in coughing for a time, but it will generally begin to subside after the initial increase.
