Hi,
The black phlegm is due to tar deposits and other harmful chemical that get deposited in your lungs. Poppers are associated with a greater exposure of lungs to the harmful toxins and pose a risk of developing lung diseases. I would suggest that you avoid smoking in any form as you too may end up damaging your lungs like your friends.
Best wishes.
