is it normal for a person to still be hacking up brown phlem a month and a half later

When I stopped smoking, I coughed up awful gunk for about twelve weeks. It might help for you to take something like Mucinex to clean you out quicker.

Yes. If you have been smoking for years, you have been polluting your lungs for years. It will take a while for them to clear all that junk out. The cells that were shut down by the smoke are probably regaining some function, and moving the nasty stuff up and out.
Congrats on quitting!

Yep. Expect it for a while, man. But, honestly, why quit? Why give in to the liberal nonsense? Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Unless you're trying to improve your run time, then sure.

I would say so. Breathing all of that junk has to eventually come out. Good luck with it. You'll be glad you stopped.
