I have a terrible smoker's cough after smoking almost a pack a day for the past 20 years. Clearing the congestion from my lungs first thing in the morning after I woke up, wearing my housecoat and slippers, I hack and cough up mucus and phlegm, spitting it out and allowing it to accumulate into gooey puddles on some printer paper. Blowing my nose to clear my nasal passageways. Listen to that awful rumble in my chest as I breathe!
