Hi there. Thanks for your question. Yes, as the amount of nicotine being introduced into your lungs reduces the degree to which the hair like sensors lining you bronchi are paralyzed also reduce. These are now coming back to life and giving you the symptoms you describe. This is very healthy.
All you need do now is go the whole hog and give up smoking altogether. Your body will thank you for it. Andrew Rynne.
