Brief Answer:
Blood after coughing
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Blood oozing out of mucous membranes during brushing teeth is not an indication of cancer.
Blood seen in the sputum or after long cough episode could indicate cancer. Also there would be severe weight loss and appetite loss.
I suggest you to use either nicotine transdermal patches or chewing gums to get rid of the habit. They are very effective and slow.
Hope, I answered your query.
