Does Tar Forms In Lungs By Occasional Cigarette Smoking After Quitting Marijuana?

I know no matter what smoking is bad, I get that point. But if you used to smoke marijuana for about a year straight and smoke cigarettes or hookah not too often after quitting marijuana, is there still tar in the lungs? Because Ive done this and at times I cough up tar in the sink or wake up to blood on my pillow from coughing at night

Hey there,

Yes definitely it occurs even with occasional smoking of cigarette.

And coughing blood and tar in sink is dangerous sign to have.

Must consult pulmonologist soon.
