I understand that coughing comes naturally after quitting smoking because the lung starts to cleanse itself. I, however, am still perplexed by the current hoarseness of my voice. This happened after I raised my voice at someone. Although I understand that stressing ones voice and excessive smoking leads to hoarseness (same day my voice got hoarse, i smoked my last cigs), I'm still puzzled because I only raised my voice once and not even very loudly.
I searched around the net and found these as symptoms for either laryngitis or lung cancer. Now I am extremely paranoid about which illness I have.
If laryngitis, how long does this supposedly last? and is it possible to have lung cancer with these symptoms after merely 2 years of smoking?
Please help. What do you guys think? Other former smokers out their also experienced what I am experiencing now?

I stopped smoking after 30 year of 4 packs a day. It has been one week and it has been hell, my throat is swollen, I can not talk at all. My lymph nodes are swollen. I doc has me on a nebulizer machine, nicotine patch, antibiotics, oral asthma medications, and two steriods and I still feel like sh*t.
I think you are loosing your voice due to stopping smoking, but just in case run it by your doc over the phone.

yes, cigarettes are pure evil. I was a passionate smoker for more than 15 years and when I saw that I am coughing all day and sometimes it wakes me up during the night, I have stopped. it is a little bit harder to set a dry cough treatment after 15 years of using cigarettes and doing nothing about this.
I still have this hoarse voice and it is killing me. I remember that my doctor told me that this is a very common condition that is often experienced in conjunction with a very dry cough. I think that it is treatable. But some consequences remains the same.
